“Why do I work at Hanger?  There are many reasons, but the most important is the opportunity to network with more than 1,300+ other clinicians across the nation.  I can get expert advice whenever I need it, giving my patients better outcomes. On extremely complicated cases I can tap into a national specialist who can work directly with the patient.  Smaller companies just don’t have that kind of clinical depth. 

As the largest orthotic and prosthetic company in the nation, we have access to so many resources, including an internal research and development team. We’re on top of the latest technologies and can share those with our patients. That means I can be a better clinician.

I also really like the fact that each Hanger Clinic is locally managed. It’s like the best of both worlds:  the resources and support of a large national company combined with the atmosphere of a small, local office.

Area Administrative Manager

Why did I choose Hanger Clinic?  When I did my interview, my prospective boss asked me if I thought I would stay at Hanger Clinic long-term.  My answer to him was “Yes, if you keep me challenged”.  Well he has followed through and so have I---I’ve been here five years.  It seems that whenever I feel my work becoming a little humdrum, Hanger Clinic offers me a challenge that I cannot refuse. Every day is a chance for me to learn and my greatest reward is when a member of my staff says “Wow…I learned something new today!” 
When I see our patients from across the country leading normal lives with orthotics and prosthetics from Hanger Clinic, I feel so proud that I am part of that process.  We are innovatively working every single day for the good of our patients.  Everyone at Hanger Clinic gets to see and be part of those outcomes either at our yearly Education Fair, working in one of our offices, or by watching one of our promotional videos.  In terms of career development, we have training materials on our intranet, excellent training programs, and tremendous corporate support.  Where else would you go to work and get all of that?

There are many reasons why I enjoy working at Hanger, yet one reason stands above all others: the quality of clinicians I work with throughout the U.S.  Hanger Clinic orthotists and prosthetists take pride in the patient care they provide, and it shows. As I travel across the country I meet many people who express how their clinician went above and beyond to provide excellent care.  It wasn’t just that the clinicians worked later or harder…it was the extra effort they invested to research and learn new designs, clinical techniques, and components. It is wonderful to be part of a network of hundreds of clinicians who learn from each other and work together to provide the best care available.  

There’s no question that Hanger Clinic clinicians are the most experienced and knowledgeable in the field. Their expertise shows in patients who achieve high levels of function and success with their orthotic and prosthetic devices.

Hanger is a sponsor for the San Diego Triathlon Challenge, a primary fundraising event for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF). We also sponsor athletes to participate in this event. The San Diego Triathlon Challenge is a Half Ironman distance event featuring world-class challenged athletes, professional triathletes, celebrities and other able-bodied participants on one of the most scenic courses in the country. This is just one of the ways the CAF works to support people with physical disabilities so they can pursue physical fitness and competitive athletics.

Hanger offices in the northeastern U.S. support the yearly charity race Swim Across the Sound, a 25-kilometer swim from Long Island to Connecticut. Participants are amateur solo swimmers and relay teams who raise pledges to help cancer patients, their families, and 34 cancer prevention, screening and education programs.  The first and only all-amputee relay team, Team Hanger, is a group of Hanger employees and patients that have raised more than $40,000 for this event.  

Whether it’s a national event, or a local track meet or golf tournament, we lend our support to a variety of efforts that promote good health and accomplishment for our patients and others. We also work on a national and local level to sponsor challenged athletes, many of whom have gone on to compete in such prestigious events as the Paralympic Games.

Besides our commitment to physical fitness and active lifestyles, we’re also involved in more humanitarian efforts.  Hanger team members participate in mission trips to parts of the world that are ravaged by poverty and war.  They have provided prosthetic care to people in India, Africa, Afghanistan, Bosnia, and other places where limb loss is common yet prosthetic care is not widely available.  Our local offices often partner with private organizations like Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs, and foundations such as Limbs for Life, to provide prosthetic and orthotic devices to Americans who cannot afford to pay for them.
