July was buzzing with energy for our AMPOWER group! We came together to explore how acupuncture and artificial intelligence can enhance our well-being—tackling both the physical and emotional challenges of limb loss. The conversations were inspiring, and we’ve only just begun to uncover the possibilities. Stay tuned—there’s so much more ahead!

Now, we’re excited to share what’s coming up this month! 😊

Below you’ll find a list of events designed to support your rehabilitation journey and help you reconnect, recharge, and thrive. These AMPOWER/Hanger Clinic events are open to your loved ones and healthcare professionals too—because we’re all in this together!
