👟 Fighting to Save Limbs & Lives in the Mississippi Delta

We’re proud to announce that Dr. Fakorede, Clifton Reed, Si Burnham, and Lashyra Marion—four dedicated members of our team—are featured in the latest issue of Endovascular Today for their powerful work raising awareness about Chronic Limb-Threatening Ischemia (CLTI).

CLTI is the most advanced stage of Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a condition that restricts blood flow to the legs and feet. Left untreated, it can lead to non-healing wounds, ulcers, gangrene—and ultimately, preventable amputations.

In this special feature, our team joins national leaders to highlight the critical need for education, early detection, and equitable access to care, especially in underserved regions like the Mississippi Delta.

We’re incredibly honored to have these passionate advocates leading the charge here at Cardiovascular Solutions of Central Mississippi—changing lives and redefining what’s possible, one limb at a time. 🩺❤️

Happy Birthday to the heart of our practice! 🎉

Dr. Fakorede, we could spend all day listing your incredible achievements… the publications, the documentary, the awareness you’ve raised for PAD, introducing the ARC Act, the countless staff and fellows you trained, and the countless sacrifices you’ve made over the past decade in Mississippi. But what truly sets you apart and the reason we all love and admire you is so much more than that.

It’s the way you genuinely care for each patient, each worried family member, and every life you touch. Your technical skill is unmatched, but what makes you extraordinary is your intentionality and compassion. You are relentless in your pursuit of the best possible outcomes for your patients, never settling for anything less.

You are a world changer, and you live that truth Every. Single. Day.

You are our superhero, and we honestly have no idea how you do it all. We just know that we are grateful for you.

💖 February is Heart Health Month – Let’s Talk About Women & Cardiovascular Disease! 💖

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women, yet it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated—especially in communities like ours. This month, we are honored to join the Mississippi Homemaker Volunteers as they shine a spotlight on women’s heart health and the impact of cardiovascular disease.

Our Cardiovascular Solutions of Central Mississippi team will be sharing lifesaving information about:
✅ Recognizing the signs of heart disease in women (they’re different from men!)
✅ Prevention strategies to reduce the risk of heart attacks & strokes
✅ The importance of screenings & early intervention

👏 A special thank you to the Mississippi Homemaker Volunteers for their commitment to empowering women through education, awareness, and action. Together, we can help more women take control of their heart health and prevent unnecessary loss.

💡 Ladies, take charge of your heart! Tag a friend, sister, or loved one who needs to hear this message. Let’s make heart health a priority—today and every day! ❤️

🌟 Happy MLK Day 2025 🌟

Today, we honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as we reflect on our 10-year journey of amputation prevention and cardiovascular risk management in the underserved Mississippi Delta.

Standing here at the National Civil Rights Museum, we are reminded of Dr. King’s enduring call to action: “The time is always right to do what is right.”

In the face of healthcare disparities, we’ve chosen community over chaos and committed to being hope dealers for those without a megaphone. Together, we continue to fight for health equity, amplify the voices of the marginalized, and inspire lasting change.

Let’s honor Dr. King’s dream by making it a reality in every heartbeat we protect. 💙
