Rose Medical Center Hosts Denver’s First Amputation Prevention Summit
Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) June 22, 2017 -- Rose Medical Center, part of the HCA/HealthONE network and the only Amputation Prevention Center® in the region, will be hosting an Amputation Prevention Summit on June 24. Taking place on Rose Medical Center’s campus at 4500 E 9th Avenue, the summit will be the first event of its kind in the Denver area.
This educational event will highlight the urgent nature of the diabetes epidemic—among the top ten leading causes of death in Colorado and leading cause of non-traumatic lower extremity amputation—specifically the prevalence of peripheral arterial disease and diabetic foot ulcers/injuries. It will also discuss ways healthcare professionals can improve their practices in order to reduce lower extremity amputations.
The summit will be led by Lee Rogers, DPM, Medical Director for Amputation Prevention Centers of America® and recent recipient of the “America’s Most Influential Podiatrist” award. Featured speakers include Eric Jaakola, DPM, Medical Director for the Amputation Prevention Center® at Rose Medical Center, as well as other speakers across multiple disciplines, including interventional cardiology, plastic surgery, general surgery and others.
