ABOUT US
My Mississippi Hope was founded to improve the health of all Mississippians. We have worked alongside local physician and community advocate, Dr. Foluso Fakorede, to launch community-based health initiatives. My Mississippi Hope has hosted CME events bringing together national and local experts to educate practitioners on PAD prevention. Our partnerships have allowed us to establish educational awareness programs, sreenings and policy advocacy efforts. We are also proud to support Dr. Fakorede’s efforts to reduce amputation rates in the Mississippi Delta, which is the highest risk region in the U.S.
Through a network of community healthcare advocates, targeted outreach initiatives and strategic partnerships,
My Mississippi Hope will:
Meet patients where they are, closing gaps in health education and access
Raise awareness of preventable and manageable conditions such as PAD, diabetes and heart disease
Expand screening programs to identify at-risk individuals early for cardiovascular disease and provide interventional pathways
Increase minority patient and physician representation in clinical trials in research
Implement a comprehensive strategy focused on recruitment, education, retention and career advancement for medical professionals dedicated to practicing in underserved communities.
Advocate for policy changes that drive sustainable improvements in rural healthcare infrastructure.
