FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                              
In the “Amputation Capital,” One Miami Cardiologist Builds a High-Tech Ecosystem to Save Limbs and Lives

Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark marks American Heart Month with a 20% reduction goal for amputations, backed by a new independent hybrid surgical center and AI-driven screenings.
MIAMI, FL — January 27, 2026 — While the nation observes American Heart Month, a quiet crisis is unfolding in Miami-Dade County. Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD), a circulatory condition often called “poor man’s heart disease,” is driving a disproportionate number of non-traumatic amputations in the region’s Black and Hispanic communities. Today, Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, founder of Amavita Heart and Vascular Health™, announces a comprehensive “ecosystem of care” designed to halt this trend: the expansion of the Miami Initiative to Stop Amputations (MISA), powered by the opening of the region’s first independent cardiovascular ambulatory surgery center (ASC) equipped with hybrid robotic suites.
“Most amputations are preventable. The system not the patient is failing,” says Dr. Martinez-Clark, a Harvard-trained interventional cardiologist. “You shouldn’t lose a leg because you couldn’t find a ride to the doctor or because your condition was caught too late. We are moving world class technology out of the hospital and into the community to change this reality.”
The Goal: 20% Reduction by 2030
Through MISA, Dr. Martinez-Clark has set a public health goal to reduce non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in Miami-Dade County by 20% over the next decade. To achieve this, Amavita is deploying AISAP CARDIO, a military-grade AI ultrasound technology, into local nursing homes and clinics. Early pilot programs have already identified previously undiagnosed valvular pathologies in 28% of seniors screened, catching “ticking time bombs” before they become fatal.
The Technology: Rewiring the Body
For patients with advanced disease who have been told amputation is their only option, Amavita has adopted the LimFlow System. This breakthrough therapy, now available at the new Kendall facility, allows surgeons to permanently “rewire” a patient’s leg by turning a vein into an artery, bypassing blocked vessels to oxygenate the foot. Clinical data from the pivotal PROMISE II trial demonstrates a 76% limb salvage rate for patients who otherwise faced major amputation.
The Facility: A New Model for Kendall
Supporting these clinical initiatives is the grand opening of Amavita’s new Ambulatory Surgery Center (ASC) at the Med Square Health complex in Kendall. It stands as the first independent cardiovascular center in the neighborhood to feature two hybrid operating suites with robotic capabilities.
“World-class cardiovascular care doesn’t have to happen in a hospital,” states Dr. Martinez-Clark. “By performing complex revascularization procedures in an independent outpatient setting, we can offer patients a more personalized experience at a significantly lower cost often 40-60% less than traditional hospital systems.”
About Amavita Heart and Vascular Health™
Founded in 2017 by Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, Amavita Heart and Vascular Health™ is a comprehensive cardiovascular practice dedicated to minimally invasive treatments and health equity. Anchored by the Miami Initiative to Stop Amputations (MISA) and the bioaccess® research consortium, Amavita bridges the gap between academic innovation and community access.

With mesmerizing and refreshing acrobatic performances, LUZIA brings traditional and contemporary circus disciplines to a whole new level. Cyr Wheel artists perform the unprecedented feat of rolling and spinning under the rain, while an aerialist suspended from a Trapeze flies and twirls through pouring showers. Hoop
Diving is taken onto gigantic treadmills, expanding exponentially the speed and amount of daring leaps executed. Jaw-dropping highlights include a male contortionist skillfully twisting his body in the world’s most unimaginable positions, a powerful Aerial Straps specialist defying the laws of gravity at the center of a cenote (natural sinkhole), a juggler tossing seven pins at breakneck speed, and two football (soccer) freestylers deftly mixing street dance with mind-blowing ball manipulation.

Downtime Is Predictable. Recovery Should Be Too.

Downtime Is Predictable. Recovery Should Be Too.

Why Backup & Recovery Strategy Defines Business Resilience in Miami

By Humberto ComellasPresident & CEO, ulltium consulting®
When most Miami business leaders think about downtime, they picture something dramatic.
A hurricane.A ransomware attack.A regional power failure.
And yes — in South Florida, those risks are real.
But after 40 years in the I/T industry, I can tell you something that surprises most executives:
The most common causes of downtime are not dramatic.They are routine.And they are predictable.
The real question is not whether something will go wrong.
It’s this:
How quickly can you recover when it does?

The Coffee Spill Is Not the Real Problem
A drink tips over onto a laptop.The screen goes dark. The device won’t restart.
Now the employee can’t access:
• Email• Project files• Client documentation• Shared systems• Cloud applications
Work pauses. Deadlines shift. Other team members wait.
The incident itself isn’t catastrophic.
What determines impact is recovery speed.
If restoring that employee’s environment takes a full day, you’ve lost a day of productivity.If it takes 30–60 minutes, disruption is minimal.
A strong backup and recovery strategy turns accidents into routine corrections.

Accidental Deletion Happens Every Day
Files are deleted.Data gets overwritten.Folders are moved unintentionally.
No one notices — until the document is urgently needed.
Now the team scrambles:
Searching shared drivesChecking email attachmentsTrying to recreate hours of work
Human error is unavoidable.
But in Miami’s fast-moving professional environment — especially in healthcare, legal, and construction — small mistakes can’t afford to become big delays.
Structured backup systems with rapid file-level restoration eliminate that chaos.

Updates Should Not Cause Operational Disruption
Applying updates and patches is responsible I/T management.
But sometimes updates fail.
Applications freeze. Systems behave unpredictably. Productivity stalls.
The issue is rarely the update itself.
The issue is not having a predictable rollback and restore process.
With a properly engineered backup architecture, restoring a stable version of a system is controlled and efficient.
Without one, troubleshooting becomes guesswork.

Aging Equipment Is a Silent Risk
Hardware failure is not surprising.
Servers age. Workstations slow down. Infrastructure eventually needs replacement.
The disruption occurs when:
• There is no recent verified backup• There is no tested recovery procedure• There is no documented continuity plan
Now recovery becomes reactive instead of structured.
For Miami businesses operating in regulated industries, this is not just inconvenient — it’s risky.

Downtime Is a Business Continuity Issue
Across every scenario, the pattern is the same:
Work stops.Momentum is lost.Revenue is impacted.Client confidence weakens.
Downtime is not fundamentally a technology problem.
It is a resilience problem.
The difference between a minor inconvenience and a major disruption is recovery time.

Resilience Is Built Before You Need It
At ulltium consulting®, our backup and disaster recovery strategies are designed with one objective:
Get your team back to work quickly and predictably.
That includes:
• Automated, encrypted backups• Secure offsite replication• Rapid restoration capabilities• Tested disaster recovery protocols• Structured ongoing monitoring
When recovery takes minutes instead of hours, small incidents stay small.
Your clients never feel disruption.
Your team operates with confidence.
And your business continues moving forward.

Miami Businesses Cannot Afford Assumptions
If you are unsure how long it would take to restore:
• A deleted file• A failed workstation• A corrupted server• A compromised cloud account
Then your recovery posture is theoretical — not operational.
In South Florida, where weather, compliance demands, and cybersecurity threats intersect, resilience must be engineered — not assumed.

Let’s Make Recovery Predictable
If you operate a Miami-based organization and have not evaluated your backup and recovery strategy recently, now is the time.
We’ll walk through your environment, assess your current protections, and identify where business continuity can be strengthened — before an incident forces your hand.

Karen Maley Is Redefining Movement-Based Care in Miami

Karen Maley Is Redefining Movement-Based Care in Miami

0 |

Where Chiropractic, Performance, and Purpose Intersect
Movement is not just how we train — it’s how we live.— Karen Maley

What It Means to Be a Miami Rising Star Chiropractor
A Miami Rising Star Chiropractor is more than someone early in their career. It represents a professional who demonstrates leadership, discipline, innovation, and long-term vision within their field.
These individuals combine education, performance science, and patient-centered care to create meaningful impact. Dr. Karen Maley exemplifies this standard through her commitment to movement-based healthcare and injury prevention.
Since arriving in Miami, she has introduced a modern chiropractic approach focused on long-term resilience rather than temporary relief.

A Foundation Built on Movement and Curiosity
Dr. Maley’s passion for movement began as a competitive dancer and multi-sport athlete. When injuries surfaced, she began asking deeper questions:

Why does the body break down?

How can we rebuild it properly?

What prevents future injury?

This curiosity led her to pursue a degree in Biology at King’s College, where she graduated magna cum laude, followed by earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2015 from New York Chiropractic College.
Her academic and athletic background reflects a consistent mission: understanding the root cause of dysfunction rather than treating surface-level symptoms.

Speaking the Athlete’s Language
Early in her career, Dr. Maley worked alongside respected sports chiropractors within the CrossFit community in Philadelphia. Rather than observing from the sidelines, she immersed herself in the training environment to better understand athletic demands.
Today, as a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer (CF-L1) and RKC Instructor, she bridges the gap between rehabilitation and performance.
This dual expertise allows her to:

Restore mobility

Improve movement patterns

Support strength development

Prevent recurring injuries

Her approach integrates clinical care with real-world athletic application.

Beyond the Adjustment: A Modern Chiropractic Philosophy
At Chiropractic and Movement Studio, care goes beyond spinal adjustments. Dr. Maley incorporates:

Myofascial release techniques

Corrective and rehabilitative exercises

Targeted joint adjustments

Movement education strategies

Her philosophy is clear: patients need more than pain relief — they need understanding.
There is no shortcut to sustainable health. Long-term results come from informed movement, consistency, and education.

Belief, Movement, and Transformation
“The body achieves what the mind believes.” — Napoleon Hill
In movement-based healthcare, belief plays a powerful role. When patients believe they are fragile, movement becomes restricted. When they believe they are capable, confidence returns — and with it, progress.
Dr. Maley’s work focuses on reshaping that internal belief system. She teaches patients how their bodies function, how to load safely, and how to recover effectively. Education replaces fear. Confidence replaces hesitation.
Healing becomes a collaborative process rather than a passive experience.

Vision for the Future
Dr. Maley’s long-term vision includes expanding movement-centered chiropractic education in Miami. Her goal is to build systems that prioritize:

Longevity

Resilience

Patient autonomy

Performance optimization

She envisions a healthcare model where patients are active participants in their recovery and long-term wellness.

Company & Contact Information
Chiropractic and Movement Studio13429 SW 131st StreetMiami, FL 33186Located on the second floor of IMT CrossFit

Why This Matters
Dr. Karen Maley represents a new generation of chiropractic leaders — professionals who combine science, movement, and education to create lasting change.
Her approach proves that real healing is not instant — but it is achievable through knowledge, consistency, and guided movement.
If you are ready to move better, train smarter, and understand your body at a deeper level, connect with Chiropractic and Movement Studio and begin your journey toward resilient movement.
