Medical Partnership Aims to Reduce Preventable Amputations Through Technology and Community Outreach

The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation has announced a partnership with New Horizon Medical Solutions to combat preventable amputations through community-based prevention and education. This collaboration comes at a critical time when more than 150,000 Americans undergo non-traumatic amputations each year, many due to untreated wounds, diabetes-related complications, and lack of access to early intervention.

The partnership will debut at an upcoming screening event where New Horizon Medical Solutions will introduce the exclusive KENT SNAPSHOT device, an innovative technology designed to enhance early detection and treatment of chronic wounds. These wounds represent one of the leading causes of limb loss in the United States. The foundation works to disrupt the cycle of preventable amputations through grassroots screenings, clinician education, and community outreach that meets patients where they are before it’s too late.

‘At New Horizon Medical Solutions, we believe that true innovation extends beyond technology and lives in the communities we serve,’ said Will Hall, CEO of New Horizon Medical Solutions. ‘Supporting organizations like The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation allows us to help build stronger healthcare foundations at the grassroots level.’

In addition to providing technology, NHMS’s Medical Director, Dr. Tharesh Udupa, will volunteer his time and expertise to provide consultations and education for students and medical residents participating in the initiative. ‘Excited to participate in this local area diabetic foot screening,’ said Dr. Udupa. ‘I believe giving back to the community helps strengthen the ties that the healthcare community can give to the local residents.’

Elizabeth Faust, President-Elect of The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration. ‘As President-Elect of The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation, I am thrilled to welcome New Horizon Medical Solutions as a valued sponsor of our mission,’ said Faust. ‘Their commitment to attend our upcoming screening and bring the exclusive KENT SNAPSHOT device demonstrates their dedication to advancing wound care and limb preservation.’

The partnership represents a growing national alignment between clinical innovation and community action. By combining advanced medical technology available at www.nhmedical.com, expert-led education, and on-the-ground outreach through organizations like The Save a Leg, Save a Life Foundation at www.thesalsal.org, the organizations are creating a scalable model for reducing preventable amputations across the country. As healthcare systems continue to grapple with rising chronic disease rates and disparities in access to care, initiatives like this underscore that early intervention saves limbs and lives.
