Apart from work, and being a ROMP Ambassador, Lubas enjoys playing volleyball, biking, doing yoga, and playing boardgames with friends.
His ‘Why’: He first got involved with ROMP during summer of 2017 to support the prosthetic care provided to patients in Guatemala through surveying patients and improving aspects of clinic care. He has been impressed by how ROMP provides innovative care through the CBR program and supporting remote regions with continued prosthetic care. He has been excited to support ROMPs mission as a ROMP Ambassador by promoting and celebrating patient mobility with a prosthetic device through events like Climb for ROMP and Mobility May. ROMP is setting the bar for world-class prosthetic care to patients where needed.
