Partnership With a Purpose

Össur partners with a wide range of organizations around the globe.

Challenged Athletes Foundation

World-class sprinter, first-time triathlete, competitive cyclist, marathon runner – the partnership of Challenged Athletes Foundation and Össur has helped amputees add these remarkable titles to their resumes. Through grants, training, prosthetics and equipment needs, the partnership opens doors  every day for athletic greatness.

Amputee Coalition of America

Education is equally important when it comes to pursuing a Life Without Limitations. Which is why Össur supports the efforts of the Amputee Coalition, a national U.S. non-profit formed in 1989 to offer continued education, mentoring, peer support and consumer advocacy. In 2011, Össur joined forces with the Amputee Coalition and Johns Hopkins University to create a unprecedented, nationwide program to help prosthetists address the emotional needs of people with limb loss. The program is an example of the type of innovative partnerships that are needed to better address the health care needs of amputees.
