We are incredibly happy to let our Western Maryland community know there is now a support group for those living with limb loss or limb difference! The group also welcomes their families, friends, and caregivers.  This group was organized locally by long time amputee Diane Clark, who many of you know.  Diane has contributed to our patient stories several times. She also recently appeared on WCBC 107.1 Radio with our Cumberland clinician Mark Treasure, CP, BOCO.

While there are other support groups in other parts of the state, Western Maryland has been without. Diane has worked really hard to get this group going and she would like to see you all at the next meeting. This new group (which is going to need a name!) meets on the last Friday of each month at 6:00 pm at the Allegany College of Maryland in the Allied Health Building in room 237 (which is on the upper level). We appreciate that ACM has provided this space for the meeting. NOTE: There will NOT be a meeting in November. The next meeting will be 12/26/2019.

The group is new and needs to grow, so Diane asks for anyone with limb loss or limb difference in the area to please come and show your support of each other. Dankmeyer is not affiliated with this group, only to show our support and help Diane get the word out! So, if you know of anyone who would like to come, please spread the word and bring them along.
