History

Established in 1861.

In 1861, James Edward Hanger became the first amputee of the Civil War. He returned to his hometown in Virginia where he set his mind to walking again. Mr. Hanger patented his prosthetic device and his business thrived. He continued to develop revolutionary products, helping veterans and other amputees regain mobility. By 1919, the J.E. Hanger Company had branches in Atlanta, London, Paris, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and St. Louis. Mr. Hanger turned his personal tragedy into an invaluable service to mankind. His ingenuity and desire to help other wounded veterans set an unmatched standard for nearly 150 years, touching an untold number of lives. Today, with more than 600 patient care centers nationwide, Hanger Prosthetics and Orthotics is the world’s premier provider of prosthetic and orthotic services — committed to offering the most advanced technology, clinically unique programs and unsurpassed customer service.
