Physicians for Peace is honoring David A. Lawrence, M.S.P.T., A.T.C., an internationally renowned physical therapist and amputee specialist, as a 20th Anniversary Health Care Hero for his work with the Walking Free program. Lawrence co-founded Walking Free in 2000 to help amputees around the world to access proper treatment. Since then, the Walking Free program, which works to establish prosthetic and rehabilitation centers in developing nations, has touched people's lives in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, the Philippines, and Guatemala. The Walking Free Program has helped more than ten thousand patients with prosthetic and orthotic needs and has provided more than $2 million in in-kind contributions including rehabilitation and surgical supplies and equipment.
