 Kenneth Bean, VP Operations, "All too often the socio-emotional consequences of limb loss are overlooked entirely by the prosthetics profession and the broader medical community as well. With infants and children, a limb loss impacts the child's entire family, and the crucial question becomes how the family views the child, because inevitably that is the way the children will view themselves."

Bean continued, "If a child is viewed as handicapped, he or she must inevitably be handicapped...by a lack of confidence and a willingness to 'take a back seat' to the 'whole' children around them. The ultimate purpose of Pediatric Prosthetics Inc. is to change those views from 'Isn't that sad!' and move the viewpoint to 'Isn't that wonderful!' We accomplish that by properly applying the finest technology but also by embracing the whole families and creating a 'can-do' approach to each child's future."

Bean concluded, "There are over ten thousand small children in the United States United States, officially United States of America, republic (2005 est. pop. 295,734,000), 3,539,227 sq mi (9,166,598 sq km), North America.

With the advent of the PEDIATRIC PROSTHETICS FOUNDATION, we can begin to address the needs of every one of these families. It is there where we expect to achieve the company's overwhelming success."
