Mission
The mission of the Limb Preservation Foundation is to support the prevention and treatment of limb threatening conditions.
The goal of the Limb Preservation Foundation is to enhance the quality of life for those individuals facing limb-threatening diseases due to trauma, tumor or infection through research, patient assistance and educational programs.
Background Statement
The Limb Preservation Foundation was founded in 1986 by Ross Wilkins, MD and the late Tom Arganese, MD to support the prevention and treatment of limb threatening conditions. The doctors shared a vision that all people in danger of losing an arm or a leg should have access to the best medical care regardless of their ability to pay. The two characteristics that distinguished their approach from the conventional treatment of limb problems was their multi-disciplinary approach to extremity problems and their willingness to treat anyone. Following their vision, Dr. Wilkins and Dr. Arganese recruited a team of medical professionals to form a world-class Institute, now named the Denver Clinic for Extremities at Risk. These medical professionals include orthopedic, vascular and plastic surgeons, as well as oncologists, psychiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, radiologists, pathologists, internists, and infectious disease physicians.
The Foundation provides patient assistance, funds promising research, and provides education to save limbs and lives and enhance the quality of life for patients.
