WILMINGTON, Del. - The Wilmington VA has launched a mobile unit to provide prosthetic and orthotic care in more rural areas through a grant it received from the Office of Rural Health. The MoPOC is equipped to bring prosthetic limb, custom brace and shoe and insert modifications to rural areas in Delaware and southern New Jersey, saving veterans time from having to go see an outside provider or driving to the Wilmington VA. “We more than doubled the care we can produce in south Jersey,” said Prosthetics Chief and U.S. Army Veteran Corey Smith. “Getting out to the community is important.” The Mobile Prosthetic and Orthotic Clinic (MoPOC) started seeing patients in February with visits to the Sussex County Delaware VA Clinic on Mondays and Tuesdays and the Cumberland County New Jersey VA Clinic on Wednesdays. The ORH is a Veterans Health Administration Office established by Congress in 2006 with a goal to break down the barriers separating rural veterans from quality care.
