Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital, Grand Rapids, Mich, has reportedly tapped Patrick Logan, CPO, (pictured to the right) as its new vice president of operations and development for the Mary Free Bed Orthotics & Prosthetics program. According to a recent news release, Logan brings nearly two decades of experience in the orthotics and prosthetics field to his new role. 

Logan’s experience includes roles as the division supervisor of prosthetics/orthotics at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, branch manager with Hanger Prosthetics, North American prosthetics manager with CAMP Healthcare in Atlanta, and NOPCO’s clinical coordinator at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. 

Kent Riddle, Mary Free Bed CEO, adds that Logan’s, “experience in this field covers a broad spectrum—patient, practitioner, manufacturer, manager, and educator.”

The release reports that Logan’s interest in the field stems from his own below the knee amputation.

Logan has also been published and quoted in a variety of professional journals and publications,
