The Clubfoot Crisis: Simple Cure, Global Neglect

The Clubfoot Fund was founded by Bill Palmer, inspired by his own struggle with clubfoot at a time when treatment was not as effective or defined as it is now with the Ponseti Method.

As a coach and consultant, Bill has worked with organizations such as NASA Kennedy Space Center, the United States Air Force, Gilead Sciences, Land Rover, Sony PlayStation, Shell, US Veterans Administration, and L’Oréal.

He has worked in 26 countries, and since 2022, he has served as a pro bono consultant and coach for the UK-based Global Clubfoot Initiative. 

Bill lives in Oakland with his wife Haiyan O’Connell, and their cat Leo. His adult children are in El Cerrito and Las Vegas, his soccer playing grandchildren are here in the Bay Area.
