The Amputation Prevention Center at First Coast Cardiovascular Institute is here for you. We have a dedicated limb preservation and wound care team comprised of interventional cardiologists, endovascular experts, and wound care providers.
Don’t take our word for it. Ask the thousands of patients who have come to us for amputation prevention and limb preservation, since 2002. Our patients seek our care from across the nation. Together, we can make unnecessary amputations a misfortune of the past.
