Amputations within the African American community occur at a staggering 3-4 times higher rate than their white counterparts, underscoring the urgent need to galvanize the community and other stakeholders to engage in candid discussions about the prevalent gaps in communication and care for a disease more prevalent and deadlier than all cancers combined, except lung cancer, known as peripheral artery disease (PAD). Hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips talk about the key takeaways from The Global PAD Association’s event series, "PAD: The Lived African American Experience," which seeks to provide a platform for diverse stakeholders to collaboratively develop tangible solutions to address these disparities that lead to people of color not getting appropriate testing and treatment to save their limbs and life. Also, in this episode of "The Heart of Innovation," Shannon shares her powerful life and limb saving story you don't want to miss that will drive you to run toward a second, third, even fourth opinion before consenting to any interventional or surgical procedure.
