Dankmeyer’s very own Marlies Beerli Cabell, CPO recently attended the 2022 AOPA Policy Forum on The Hill. (The Hill refers to the hill in Washington D.C. where the Capital Building sits and Congress meets.) This is an annual event sponsored by the American Orthotics and Prosthetics Association (AOPA) which allows for the opportunity to learn about the latest legislative and regulatory issues and how they will affect the field of Prosthetics and Orthotics and the care for our patients.

People from all parts of the country attend - including clinicians, manufacturers, educators, patients and family members to educate and advocate! Marlies met in Zoom meetings with the staffers for Senator Cardin, Senator Van Hollen and Representative Raskin. She shared her clinical patient success stories to reveal custom designs with patient focused care in the difficulties of the COVID shutdown environment. She invited these Maryland members of Congress to visit Dankmeyer so they could clearly see what we do every day to meet the needs of our patients. Making a difference one day at a time!!
