Pongratz Prosthetics and Orthotics, Inc. is not only a business that provides medical care to all who ask for it, they give it to all who need it.

Since 2001, Pongratz Inc. has been showing up once a month at St.Andrew's clinic in Nogales, AZ. to provide medical care to those who cannot afford health services or who cannot get to the places they need to access it.

One of Pongratz Inc.'s biggest contributions to the clinic is their donation of prosthetic and orthotic equipment, which they would normally charge patients anywhere from $3,000-$12,000. They also bring their lab to Nogales so that all follow up appointments from previous clinics can be performed at the same place.

One of the most common diseases that Pongratz Inc. provides services to is cerebral palsy. Cerebral palsy is an "umbrella" term for a non-progressive, non-contagious disease that in most cases causes a physical disability.

At St. Andrew's Clinic, Pongratz Inc. helps about 10-25 children a day, fitting them with new and up-to-date medical equipment.

Pongratz Inc. also volunteers their services for Limbs 2 Life, a group designed to "help amputees realize their fullest potential."
