About Us
Founder Leslie Green is a bilateral below the knee amputee who has many years of experience working alongside patients with limb loss and limb difference. As Patient Advocate Director of Education, Leslie meets with prosthetic patients to offer education and supports patients from amputation to ambulation. She ensures patients and family members are provided with education, appropriate community resources, and emotional support.
“Minnesota Nice”
While Balanced Amputee has its roots tied to the Minneapolis-St. Paul Community, it has grown into a nation-wide virtual community for people of all ages to connect and interact with others living with limb loss/limb difference
Peer Support
Interested in talking with someone who has been through limb loss?
Our community can offer connections for both amputees and family members to help answer questions and bring encouragement.
