3. ROMP (Range of Motion Project) - In October 2022, I spent one week in Guatemala City volunteering as a physician to evaluate and provide prosthesis to 45 amputees of persons ages 7 to 80. I worked with prosthetists and physical therapists to enable a one-week turnaround for prosthesis delivery. I learned about prosthetic recycling and brought this idea back to Denver Health to develop sustainability measures for patients who are uninsured and require prosthetics. Further, I donated $7500 for the Community Based Rehab (CBR) aspect of ROMP where we went to the homes of very poor people in Guatemala who have had amputations. I plan to volunteer for ROMP in Ecuador and again in Guatemala City.
