Jon D. Wilson is P&O Care's Clinical Director and leader of our Prosthetic and Orthotic teams. Jon co-founded P&O Care with Jim Weber, CEO.  Jon graduated from the Northwestern University Medical School with a Certificate of Prosthetics in 1994 and earned his Certificate of Orthotics from Northwestern in 2002. He is an ABC Certified Prosthetist and Orthotist and is an Illinois Licensed Prosthetist and Orthotist. Jon is nationally recognized as a leader in the field of upper and lower extremity prosthetic care and hemicorporectomy procedures. He is credited with designing a unique and innovative “body bucket” for hemicorporectomy patients. This custom fabricated prosthesis utilizes a matrix of ROHO cushions that enables people who have literally been cut in half to “float” in a seated position. With their weight and body fluid evenly distributed, they are able to lead active, mobile lives without worrying about skin breakdown. In 2004, the American Orthotic and Prosthetic Association awarded him with the prestigious Howard R. Thranhardt Lecture Honorarium for his abstract “A New Concept in Prosthetic Interface Design for Hemicorporectomy Amputees Utilizing ROHO Compression Therapy.”

Dan Luitjohan is an expert in above-the-knee prosthetics. He became a Certified and Illinois Licensed Prosthetist in 2001 after completing the prosthetic program at Northwestern Medical School in Chicago and a residency in St. Louis. Dan introduced the P&O Care team to a new design called the Marlo Anatomical Socket. This prosthetic allows for greater range of motion, is less visible and provides more comfort for high AKs with shorter residual limbs. In addition to caring for amputees who have lost legs to diabetes or peripheral vascular disease, Dan takes a special interest in pediatric and upper-extremity (arm) prosthetics.  Dan and his wife Julie live in Edwardsville, IL, and have three young boys.  Dan enjoys spending time with his family as well as fishing and golf.

Shawn McAdams’ interest in orthotics began in 2000, when he sustained a spinal injury and was faced with a challenge to find a new career. After completing, the Prosthetic and Orthotic Technician Program, Shawn began working as a Technician, fabricating various devices for patients. He realized that he did not want to be limited to just fabricating and wanted to help on a more personal level.  He wanted to see first hand the positive effects that an orthosis could have on an individual’s life.  He went on to further his education by attending and graduating from Northwestern University Medical School’s Orthotic and Prosthetic Practitioner Program in 2005. Knowing that he helps improve a patient’s quality of life is what inspires him.

Luke Brewer first became interested in the orthotic and prosthetic profession in high school after he suffered a serious spine injury in a motor vehicle accident.

He always tries to develop a deeper understanding of his patient's unique needs so he can recommend innovative solutions that will help them maintain a higher quality of life. Luke likes to spend time with his family and friends and enjoys golf, running, and being active in the outdoors.

Emery Miko has been interested in orthotics all his life. At the age of 12 he started assisting his father who operated a one man practice in the aftermath of the polio epidemic. After serving in the Airforce for eight years, Emery received his certificate in orthotics in 1965.  He taught a technician training program at Delgado Junior College and helped write the college’s curriculum for their associate degree program. He ran private practice from 1973 until 1987, when he joined the orthotic team at Shriners Hospital in St. Louis. He was the Director of the Shriners Orthotics and Prosthetics Department from 1989 to 2009. “I loved working with the children at Shriners,” Emery says, “because children do not think they can't do this or that. I watched them grow into young adults, and felt like I had affected their lives for the better.”
