Limb Loss and Preservation Registry

Limb Loss and Preservation Registry

Brownfield’s Prosthetics and Orthotics has joined the national Limb Loss & Preservation Registry (LLPR) to generate knowledge about which advances and treatments improve the outcomes of patients with congenital and acquired limb loss and limb difference.

“Brownfield’s P&O is proud to be partnering with the LLPR for the progression of data in the field of orthotics and prosthetics. We are hopeful this will give our patients the confidence and comfortability to manage their care while collaborating with their healthcare team to move them into the future with a functional and active lifestyle.”

Hike 2 Heal

Hike 2 Heal

One in four Idahoans provides care to a family member or friend.

Hike 2 Heal provides outdoor experiences for caregivers through guided hiking, snowshoeing, and backpacking trips. These opportunities provide courage and inspiration for their caregiving journey 

​Caregiving is hard. Respite care is a valuable resource for caregivers who often experience stress and feel overwhelmed. Balancing caregiving responsibilities with personal needs is crucial for successful caregiving; therefore, our mission is to provide support to caregivers through outdoor adventures so that caregivers can regain perspective.

​Our vision is that every Idahoan caregiver has the support they need to live balanced lives in their role as a caregiver.
