Honored. Energized. And more convinced than ever—this is our moment.

Grateful to be part of a powerful dialogue at the NMA Colloquium on Transforming Chronic Disease Care—alongside leaders pushing real change forward.

Shoutout to:
Co-Panelist: Dr. Fatima Cody Stanford — redefining how we address obesity with science + humanity
Moderator - Dr. Michael G. Knight — advancing value-based care where it matters most
President of NMA- Dr. Roger A. Mitchell Jr. — creating spaces that drive action

I met amazing peers and spoke on a crisis we can no longer afford to ignore:

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) & preventable limb loss

➡️ 20+ million Americans affected
➡️ Disproportionately impacting underserved communities
➡️ Driving avoidable amputations, disability, and cost

PAD isn’t just a disease—
it’s a system failure when missed.

But momentum is building:

• ARC Act gaining traction
• Illinois SB1418 passed
• Georgia HB1122 advancing

Policy is catching up to the problem.

We are shifting:
➡️ Amputation → Limb preservation
➡️ Fragmentation → Coordination
➡️ Awareness → Action

From the Mississippi Delta to national policy—we’ve seen what works.

Early detection.
Multidisciplinary care.
Community-based screening.

The blueprint exists. Now we scale it.

If you’re in policy, healthcare, or industry—this is the moment.

Because behind every stat is a life…
and a limb that can still be saved.

We’re not waiting anymore.

The numbers behind PAD-related amputations are alarming—especially across the South and the Mississippi Delta. This interactive heat map helps visualize where amputations are happening and why awareness, screening, and timely vascular care are critical to saving limbs and lives.

150,000 Americans lose a limb every year. Your congressional district has a number. Do you know it?

Honored to share the story of Bloodlines Mississippi at the Cardiovascular Research Technologies (CRT) Conference this weekend.

For me, this film is not just about medicine — it’s about people, place, and purpose.

Bloodlines Mississippi tells the story of a region fighting back against preventable suffering — and reminds us that behind every statistic is a life, a family, and a future worth protecting.

Grateful to the CRT community for providing a platform (Disparities in Interventional Cardiology) to amplify this message. The momentum around peripheral artery disease awareness, limb preservation, and health equity continues to grow — and we must keep pushing forward.

The work continues. The mission continues. 🙏🏿

What do you call a birthday when the whole squad pulls up in synchronized eyewear?

You call it LOVE. You call it FAMILY. You call it the A-TEAM. ❤️

To the greatest teammates a man of woman could ask for — thank you for making this birthday one I will never forget. The coordinated glasses as a tribute to my signature look (shout out to my eyewear family in Memphis for always keeping me right) was next-level. Y’all didn’t just celebrate me — you flattered me.

Simple? Yes.
Powerful? Absolutely.

Because it wasn’t just about balloons or cake (delicious Tonya Calmese. It was about unity. Thoughtfulness. Joy. The kind of culture you can’t fake and can’t manufacture.

In a world where work can feel heavy, you reminded this “ole man” that purpose mixed with people you love is the greatest gift of all.

We serve together.
We sacrifice together.
We win together.

“Whoever pursues righteousness and love finds life, prosperity, and honor”

Now… back to work, y’all. Let’s gooooooooooooooo!!!!!! 🚀

Love you all. Truly.
