Keywords: diabetes, foot care, health equity, amputation prevention, underserved communities
This nonprofit organization addresses the diabetic foot care crisis in underserved, low-income communities where amputations are disproportionately high. We conduct research into accessible foot care solutions, give policy advice on diabetic foot care, provide community-based diabetes education, and develop interventions for preventing foot deformities and ulcers. Our mission is to bridge the healthcare gap by creating sustainable, affordable solutions that prevent life-altering amputations and improve the quality of life for vulnerable diabetic populations.
Skillset needs: Seeking team members passionate about health equity with backgrounds in: healthcare/public health for program development, research experience for diabetic foot care studies, nonprofit management, community outreach coordinators for building partnerships with low-income communities, and connections to Stanford Medicine or public health programs.
