Dr. Foluso Fakorede has been shaking up healthcare in the Mississippi Delta since 2015. As the founder of Cardiovascular Solutions of Central Mississippi, he zeroed in on a serious but often overlooked problem: peripheral artery disease, where clogged arteries can quietly put legs at risk. Before his work, amputation rates in the region were among the highest in the country, hitting communities already facing health disparities.

Fakorede didn’t just treat patients — he rolled out early screening programs, educational campaigns, and community outreach to catch the disease before it became life‑threatening. Those efforts paid off. Over four years, his site saw an 88% drop in amputations, giving people a chance to keep their legs and mobility.

He’s also taken his fight to Washington, D.C., speaking to lawmakers about the urgent need for better prevention and access to care. His mission blends medicine, advocacy, and community trust, aiming to tackle systemic health gaps and put lifesaving treatments within reach of the people who need them most.

This story isn’t just about one doctor’s skill — it’s about showing how focused care and outreach can transform outcomes in places where healthcare inequities hit hardest.
