"From Nigeria to the Mississippi Delta, Dr. Foluso Fakorede is an interventional cardiologist who performs a simple, life-changing job: opening clogged leg arteries so people keep their legs. Before he arrived, 1 in 5 Black residents in his Mississippi community lost a leg to Peripheral Artery Disease, a condition where plaque blocks blood flow. He slashed local amputation rates by 88% in four years. As CEO of Cardiovascular Solutions of Central Mississippi, he merges world-class training (Cornell, Cooper) with on-the-ground work. He helped launch the Congressional PAD Caucus and co-wrote the federal ARC Act to spread this approach nationwide. His legacy? Fewer people wheeling themselves into operating rooms." - Africa Giant
