Abstract:
:In 1994, a pro bono hand clinic was started on the Navajo Nation in northeastern Arizona. The Navajo Nation, larger than the state of West Virginia, holds the greatest concentration of Native Americans in the United States. There has been no specialty hand care on the reservation, home to a population approximately 160,000 people. The hand clinic has operated monthly for the past 7 years with essentially no loss of continuity. More than 2500 patients have been treated. This is an outreach clinic about which the participants can be very proud.
