The Leg Lady 🦿

Registrace 17. 05. 2021
Hi there 👋🏻
Christine Hill, CPO with Sunshine Prosthetics, but most of my patients refer to me as their "Leg Lady". I am a wife, a mom of 3 and I have a passion not only to restore limbs but to restore lives. I have been involved in the field of prosthetics since 2013. In that time I have seen many amputees not given the quality care or the appropriate tools to be able to be successful. Many were not even given the opportunity to try. One goal of this channel is to educate, encourage and empower people with amputation, their families, caregivers, and other members of the healthcare team.
NEW "Stories From the Field" videos every week (at least that is the goal) . . . PLUS topical/educational videos about prosthetics!
