About ALTSO
Since its inauguration in 2002, ALTSO has treated nearly 18,000 children and continues to provide free, high-quality prosthetics and mobility aids to more than 1,000 children annually. When a child is treated under ALTSO’s programs, they don’t just gain or regain their mobility - they have access to walk the average of 3 miles to school each day, to earn an education, gain self-esteem and become independent. ALTSO also commits to providing each patient with treatment through the age of 21 to ensure each CoolKid has the ability to gain high education, vocational and/or job skills in order to ensure the opportunity to earn gainful employment.
