Specialized Care for People With Amputations and Prosthetics

Having an amputation can present challenges. With the right care, you can live life to the fullest. Our Amputee Clinic team is here to help you gain strength, mobility and independence while caring for your emotional and mental health needs. This service is available at UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester. 

Our physiatrists (experts in nonsurgical orthopedic care) and prosthetists (specialists in prosthetic limbs) coordinate your care. We also connect you with experienced mental health providers who support you throughout your journey.
