The Global PAD Association operates under The Way To My Heart, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, to remove logistical, financial, and emotional barriers to timely, effective life and limb-saving care through education, high-touch advocacy, and real-time support.

OUR MISSION is to support P.A.D. patients, caregivers, and providers through high-touch advocacy, education, and interaction. Our high-touch approach is successful in getting patients to the right physician and to comply with lifestyle modifications to delay procedures and prolong procedure results. We are on the front lines with physicians and at vascular conferences around the world to keep our knowledge current, allowing us to lead in patient education, advocacy, and support.

OUR VISION is to improve the quality of lives of P.A.D. sufferers. We are scaling our efforts to partner with hundreds of thousands of patients and caregivers globally. We are dramatically reducing healthcare costs by eliminating unnecessary amputation and improving patient outcomes through our partnership with patients and lifestyle modification programs.

OUR BELIEF is that through providing patients with a trusted true friend in health, we can improve their quality of life. Lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy, endovascular treatment, intervention and surgery should all be exhausted before amputation. Patient outcomes and durability will improve with our programs, working alongside device and vascular specialists, to lower healthcare costs and improve patient experiences.

OUR PROGRAMS provide real-time, scalable, advocacy and support for patients through support by our wellness team. Our programs and available resources lead to earlier testing/diagnosis, more productive & satisfying conversations between patients and physicians, and long-term adherence to lifestyle modifications.

OUR PURPOSE is to reduce the 1.5 million heart attacks and strokes each year, 200,000 amputations annually, and deadly comorbidity complications due to viruses.

YOUR SUPPORT helps us bridge that gap between diagnosis, treatment, and compliance TOGETHER. We are funded through donations from physicians, industry, and individuals. Donate now.
