Dwight Putnam discovered that his artistic talent could transform the lives of children at Scottish Rite for Children. He transitioned from working as a sculptor to a prosthetist, finding his calling in crafting prostheses that empower children with limb differences. For the past 18 years, Dwight has served as an integral part of Scottish Rite for Children’s in-house Orthotics and Prosthetics department, designing, fitting, and delivering custom-made prostheses to address each patient’s specific needs.
“It is really rare for somebody to have a job that shows the immediate contribution you have to someone’s well-being,” Dwight says. “To be able to just be a part of that process is awesome.”
