About us

 

The Amputee Resource Meeting is a peer based support group of amputees in the Portland, Oregon area. Amputees of any level are invited to attend and participate in our group. We meet on the last Tuesday of every month @ 11 a.m., in the Rood Family Pavillion at the OHSU Waterfront site. Our meetings are not affiliated with any particular health provider.

 

This group was started in 2012 because there was a need in the community where amputees could discuss their unique issues and problems with others. While Doctors, Physical Therapists, Prosthetists and other members of the health community can help us heal and progress physically, sometimes it is good to be able to discuss issues with someone who has personally been through it.

 

We can provide support with a “phone buddy” if someone is not able to attend the meetings. We also offer Peer Support Services to new amputees in the hospital.
