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 25-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.
