## Resource

This episode proposes the "Diabetic Foot Village" — a coordinated multi-sector surveillance and response model that shifts care from late-stage hospital interventions to early prevention and continuous monitoring.The framework connects a clinical core team, footwear and rehab supports, surveillance technology, and trained community touchpoints (nail techs, pharmacists, caregivers) with a national risk registry, rapid referral pathways, and home monitoring to catch problems earlier.Goals include reducing preventable amputations, lowering costs, improving limb salvage and equity in underserved areas — inspired by a patient story that highlights why shared, community-driven detection matters.
