US ISPO is delighted to announce...
P.O.C.C (Pronounced pahk-see; rhymes with FOXY)
The Prosthetic and Orthotic Component Clearinghouse
P.O.C.C. was launched in July 2007 as a collaborative project between MedShare International and the U.S. National Member Society of ISPO (US-ISPO). The aim of the Prosthetic and Orthotic Component Clearinghouse is to provide a mechanism for people to make tax deductible donations of new and gently used prosthetic and orthotic goods while in turn affording non-governmental organizations (NGOs), P&O practitioners, and developing world schools and facilities access to these badly needed supplies. The goal is to reduce the number of people in need of prosthetic and orthotic services but who lack the resources or access to them.
As P.O.C.C. becomes fully established, we anticipate accepting donations of all types of prosthetic and orthotic goods. As we are just beginning to get up to full speed, through the end of 2007, we are requesting that only donations of PROSTHETIC items be sent. Thank you for your consideration and understanding.
If you have something to give, please send it to:
