Amavita Foundation Introduces Miami Initiative to Stop Amputation Initiative to Support Cardiovascular Care in Miami-Dade County
 The initiative seeks to lower the number of non-traumatic lower extremity amputations as a result of Peripheral Artery Disease with early detection screenings.  The Amavita Foundation, the nonprofit arm of Amavita Heart & Vascular Health (Amavita Health) announces the launch of its inaugural initiative, the Miami Initiative to Stop Amputation (MISA). With a mission to tackle the rising rates of amputations due to Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD), MISA aims to educate and empower both patients and healthcare providers in Miami-Dade County through dedicated community outreach and healthcare advocacy. The Amavita Foundation through the MISA initiative has a goal of reducing non-traumatic lower extremity amputations in Miami-Dade County by 20 percent over the coming decade starting with identifying PAD in its early stages. In advanced stages, amputation might be the only course of action for those suffering from PAD. Statistics show that 1 in 20 Americans over the age of 50 have PAD, which is characterized by blockages in the arteries of the lower extremities and poses a significant threat to individuals’ mobility and quality of life. Left untreated, it can lead to severe complications, including tissue loss and limb amputations. Dr. Pedro Martinez Clark founder of Amavita Health, which supports the Foundation, underscores the urgency of addressing this issue: “Amputations not only impose immense physical and emotional burdens on patients but also incur substantial healthcare costs and increase mortality rates.” Mortality three years after an above-the-knee amputation can increase up to 71 percent. Recognizing the need for early detection and intervention, MISA will focus on raising awareness about PAD within the local community, particularly among minority populations who face a higher risk. Dr. Martinez Clark explains, “Blacks and Hispanics in Miami-Dade County are disproportionately affected by PAD and subsequent amputations. By concentrating our efforts on this condition, we hope to make a meaningful impact on reducing the incidence of amputations.” Cuban American patients were found to have the highest risk of PAD compared with Mexican Americans, followed by Puerto Rican patients, those with a Central American Background, and Dominican American patients. Black men, older than 50 had the highest rates of prevalent PAD. MISA’s comprehensive approach involves collaboration across multiple disciplines, including podiatry, endocrinology, and cardiovascular care. Through educational initiatives and outreach events, the initiative aims to bridge the gap in access to cardiovascular care and empower individuals to take proactive steps toward managing their vascular health. “The sobering reality is that many of these amputations can be prevented with early detection. Understanding risk factors, and symptoms and working collaboratively with other disciplines is key. Through the MISA initiative, we want to promote education, awareness, and the use of the latest advancements to treat PAD,” added Dr. Martinez Clark. MISA has garnered the attention and support of local U.S. representatives, who recognize the importance of addressing PAD and its impact on the community. Their involvement underscores the collaborative effort between public officials and healthcare advocates to implement effective strategies for reducing amputations and improving vascular health outcomes in Miami-Dade. The launch of MISA aligns with the American Heart Association’s mandate to decrease the number of amputations in the United States by 2030. By adhering to this mandate and leveraging community resources, the Amavita Foundation seeks to drive positive change and improve health outcomes for individuals affected by PAD in Miami-Dade County. For more information about the Amavita Foundation, the MISA initiative, and upcoming outreach events, visit www.amavitafoundation.org.   About Amavita Foundation The Amavita Foundation is supported by Amavita Health, a Miami-based cardiovascular practice affiliated with the Jackson Memorial Hospital system and Mercy Hospital. The Foundation strives to raise awareness, provide education, and offer support for individuals affected by peripheral artery disease. With the backing of esteemed medical professionals, the Amavita Foundation is committed to improving the lives of those fighting with this condition through advocacy and collaborative efforts.   About Amavita Heart & Vascular HealthTM Amavita Heart and Vascular Health TM is a comprehensive cardiovascular practice founded in 2017 by Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, an interventional cardiologist with extensive experience in heart disease and peripheral vascular interventions.

Patricia Vila Joins the Elderly Affairs Committee for the Town of Miami Lakes

MIAMI, July 5, 2024  – Patricia Vila Media is proud to announce that agency principal Patricia Vila is the newest member of the Elderly Affairs Committee for the Town of Miami Lakes. Vila brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to community service to the group.
“I am honored to join the Elderly Affairs Committee and look forward to contributing to the well-being of our senior citizens in Miami Lakes. I have dedicated myself to serving vulnerable populations throughout my career, and I am eager to bring my experience and passion to this important role,” said Vila about the opportunity.
The Elderly Affairs Committee was created to assist the town’s government with identifying the needs of Miami Lakes’ elderly residents. The committee focuses on developing programs for the elderly. With the support of the Miami Lakes Town Council, the Elderly Affairs Committee sponsors educational forums, lunch socials, field trips, and a health and wellness fair.
Vila’s career is a testament to her dedication to social causes and community engagement. Her six-year tenure at Chapman Partnership, where she spearheaded efforts to address homelessness in Miami-Dade County, was instrumental in the organization’s rebranding and awareness campaigns. Her contributions, including fundraising, organizing community events, and creating awareness, have left a lasting impact. Patricia’s frequent speaking engagements at Rotary Clubs and women’s events significantly raised awareness about homelessness.
Patricia has also made significant contributions to the healthcare sector. She collaborated with World Central Kitchen to arrange food donations for healthcare heroes at five Tenet Health hospitals across Miami-Dade County during the COVID-19 pandemic. Her efforts extended to honoring the nursing teams through the Nurses Brava organization. Vila also played a crucial role in communicating vital information about COVID-19 and healthcare updates to the community. Her fundraising efforts for Susan B. Komen for Breast Cancer and her involvement with the South Florida Hispanic Chamber’s Healthcare Committee further highlight her dedication to healthcare advocacy.
Patricia’s commitment to community service began at a young age. She has been volunteering since she was 14, serving as President of the Key Club in high school and being the youngest volunteer at Miami Children’s Hospital for two years. Her passion for social issues continued as she joined the Cuba Committee for the Red Cross, where she appeared weekly on TV to provide insights into the situation in Cuba.
Most recently, she has been a driving force in the Miami Initiative to Stop Amputations (MISA), creating awareness and advocating for change. Her efforts have taken her to Washington, D.C., where she has met with officials to support the initiatives led by Dr. Pedro Martinez Clark.

THE FUTURE OF WORK: EMBRACING THE BENEFITS AND OVERCOMING THE CHALLENGES OF REMOTE WORK

The shift to working from home, initially driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, has proven to be a significant change in the workforce dynamic, with both positive and negative outcomes.
Productivity and Flexibility
Studies have shown that remote work can enhance productivity. For instance, a Stanford study found that remote work increased productivity by 13%, as employees tend to work more minutes per shift and take fewer sick days and breaks. Furthermore, remote work can lead to a better work-life balance, with 81% of remote workers citing this as a primary benefit. The flexibility of working from home allows employees to manage their schedules more effectively, resulting in increased job satisfaction and reduced stress levels.
Economic and Environmental Benefits
Working from home also brings substantial economic and environmental benefits. Employees can save around $500 monthly on commuting and other expenses, translating to significant annual savings. Moreover, remote work helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, with fewer cars on the road leading to improved air quality. This aligns with findings that remote work has led to a decrease in unscheduled absenteeism by 50%, as employees have more control over their time and responsibilities.
Challenges and Hurdles
However, remote work is not without its challenges. Despite the productivity boost, remote workers can face issues such as isolation, difficulty accessing essential office equipment, and the potential for overworking due to blurred boundaries between personal and professional life. Companies often resort to monitoring software to ensure productivity, but employees have found ways to bypass these systems, raising concerns about trust and surveillance.
Hybrid Models and Future Trends
The trend towards remote and hybrid work models continues to grow. A significant percentage of companies now support hybrid work models, with many employees preferring to split their time between home and office. This model is seen as a way to balance the benefits of remote work with the need for in-person collaboration and team cohesion.
Looking ahead, the remote work trend is expected to persist. By 2028, it is predicted that 73% of all departments will include remote workers. This shift is driven by the younger, digitally native workforce that values flexibility and autonomy in their work arrangements.
Conclusion
In conclusion, working from home offers numerous advantages, including increased productivity, better work-life balance, and cost savings for both employees and employers. While there are challenges to address, the hybrid work model appears to be a promising solution, providing the best of both worlds. As we move forward, embracing flexible work arrangements will likely become a standard practice, reshaping the future of work. Embrace the flexibility of remote work while addressing its challenges to ensure a productive and balanced work environment. Explore hybrid work models to enhance productivity and employee satisfaction in your organization.
