Center for Orthotic and Prosthetic Care

What Center for Orthotic and Prosthetic Care does

Center for Orthotic and Prosthetic Care (COPC) is a privately held U.S. healthcare services provider specializing in orthotic and prosthetic (O&P) patient care and hospital O&P department management. Founded in 1997 in Louisville, Kentucky by Don Dixon, an ABC-certified orthotist and prosthetist (CPO) with 28 years of clinical experience, the company originated from an engagement to resolve financial and operational issues in the O&P department of Kosair Children's Hospital. Today, COPC operates 26 clinical locations across five states — Kentucky, Indiana, North Carolina, New York, and Pennsylvania — delivering in-person O&P services to hospitals and physician groups, including partnerships with Duke University Medical Center and Frankfort Regional Medical Center.

The company's core offering is the operation and management of in-hospital O&P departments, in which COPC assumes responsibility for clinical staffing, custom device provision, and the financial and operational performance of those departments. Underlying clinical capability is delivered through certified prosthetists/orthotists (CPOs) and BOCPs, including the founding clinical team of Don Dixon, Mike Mattingly (CPO), Keith Senn, and Tim Nutgrass (BOCP). There is no proprietary software platform, no disclosed digital product, and no AI component to the service line; the model is fundamentally people-intensive, credentialed clinical care.

COPC's commercial model is hybrid. The primary revenue stream is B2B healthcare service delivery to hospitals and physician referral networks through its 26 distributed clinic locations; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured around hospital contracts and reimbursement. A secondary revenue stream is consumer-facing affiliate marketing on the centeropcare.com website, where content authored under the byline "Mike Mattingly" reviews dietary supplement products (e.g., ProDentim, VivaSlim, SonoVive) and earns commissions on referred purchases. The company is privately held, founder-led, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, M&A activity, or executive leadership changes in the available data.
