Welcome to The National Association for the Advancement of Orthotics and Prosthetics

NAAOP exists because patients do not always receive the O&P care they deserve due to various government policies.  

Our story of advocacy, education, and unity has shaped a 20-year history of positive results in healthcare legislation and regulation.  NAAOP invites all those participating in comprehensive O&P patient care to become informed, involved, and join in our mission to educate the public and promote public policy that is clearly in the interest of the O&P patient.

GET INFORMED
“NAAOP’s primary focus is the federal government and the policy making agenda in our nation’s capital, however there is a confluence of issues that are federal and state in nature and we must go forward making sure that no federal policy has negative influences on the state.”
Peter W. Thomas, General Counsel, NAAOP

GET INVOLVED
“Our members are O&P professionals who care enough about their patient's well being to commit beyond their daily efforts in professional O&P patient care to become involved in promoting public policy that is in the interest of their patients.”
Tom Guth, CP, President, NAAOP
