Now, we are expanding our "LegSaver Hotline" hoping to save the 18 million more patients believed to be at-risk of losing theirlife and limb here in the U.S. due to Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.).Dear Respected Stakeholders, I am an Emmy Award-winning journalist who found her life'spurpose while covering a story which I believe needed a new ending, one which didn't involvepre-mature heart attacks, strokes, and amputations. So, I decided to create it through "The WayTo My Heart," which is my passion and purpose in life. Over the last seven years I've traveled the world watching hundreds of doctors performthousands of hours of life and limb-saving procedures in nearly a dozen countries and more than30 States for patients with peripheral artery disease, a common circulation issues in mainly legsthat impacts 3 in 5 heart attack sufferers and 1 in 5 over age 60. All of what I've learned andcontinue to learn during my journey, along with relationships I've developed with physicians andclinicians, I use on the frontlines to help improve the quality of life for patients globally.

Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) is a common condition in which narrowed arteriesreduce blood flow to the arms or legs. Lack of early diagnosis, early treatment, andeducation are leading to high rates of pre-mature heart attacks, strokes, and amputation. Lack of awareness: Studies showinsufficient awareness of its clinicalmanifestations, including intermittentclaudication and critical limb ischemiaand of its risk of adverse cardiovascularand limb outcomes. THE PROBLEM005Strictly Confidential, For Recipient OnlyLeg Saver Hotline - 2023Lack of health equity: Race and/or socioeconomic stature results in AfricanAmericans and Hispanics up to three times more likely to have a P.A.D. relatedamputation.Lack of rehab access: Walking is the best medicine for P.A.D. and few supervisedexercise therapy programs exists and where they do, few complete them or remaincompliant long-term.Lack of dietary support: Diet is one of the biggest factors in disease and yet fewdietitians are available for support.Lack of compliance: Most patients are non-compliant with medications and lifestylemodifications leading to more frequent, costly medical care. Lack of early diagnosis: Symptoms of leg pain, leg cramps, neuropathy are oftenmisdiagnosed as old age, diabetic neuropathy, or sciatica. Lack of early treatment: Most with it don't know, if at all, until advanced stages andheart attack, stroke, amputation are eminent.Lack of availability: Physicians and facilities are overburdened causing significantdelays in patient care, including diagnosis, treatment, and comprehensive education. Lack of care consistency: Different doctors have different treatment options andpatients don't know a limb saving option might be available elsewhere. 200 Responses200 ResponsesLack of education: Patientsdon't have access to real-timeanswers to questions aboutdiagnosis and treatment optionsresulting in fear, stress, anxietythat can worsen one's vascularcondition.

WORKFLOW010Strictly Confidential, For Recipient OnlyLeg Saver Hotline - 2023Leg Saver Hotline (415) 320-7138MedicalStudentsPADWarriorsPADCaregiversHealthCoachesPatientAdvocatesDietitian PhysicianConnectionSpecialistInsuranceSupportNurse/NursePractitionerSocialWorkerThe Way To My Heart's Leg saver Hotline is divided into two tiers. Tier 1 is designed to assessthe needs of the caller and determine whether they can meet the needs of the caller witheducation, advocacy, and support or whether the caller is best transferred to a Tier 2representative. Tier 1 is a mix of patients as advocates, caregivers highly experienced in caringfor someone with P.A.D., health coaches, and medical students. Medical students are aprimary focus for the Leg Saver Hotline as P.A.D. is still under-diagnosed due to limitededucation in a broad curriculum. Providing the opportunity for nursing, podiatric, primarycare, and physician assistant students to be on the front lines with patients will help reduceamputations long-term as recognition of symptoms will improve at earlier stages of disease. Tier 2 of the Leg Saver Hotline offers support with connecting to a limb saver, help findinglocalized resources such as free or low-cost food and transportation, assistance withunderstanding health insurance options, and access to a dietitian to provide answers to real-time questions about healthier eating habits. Dietary support is especially important becausemost patients never have the opportunity to have a dietary consult as dietitians are few, mostinsurance only cover one consult if at all, and there's typically no follow-up to ensurecompliance. If patients want additional dietary support, they have to pay out-of-pocket andthat creates a barrier for the most vulnerable populations. Since diet is one of the biggestfactors that must be modified to improve the prognosis for P.A.D. patients, The Way To MyHeart has partnered with Boston Heart Diagnostics to make dietitians available daily forpatients across America. They will help patients make decisions on healthier choices at meal-time, how to read ingredients and nutrition labels to choose the healthier options, assist themin filling out the worksheets provided in The Way To My Heart's "Food For Thought" diet book,and create a list of critical questions to discuss with their healthcare team.
