Welcome to The Diabetic Amputation Prevention Foundation (DAP). The DAP Foundation is dedicated to increasing the understanding and causation behind health care disparities particularly lower extremity amputations that occur in high risk populations both domestically and internationally. We believe that the majority of lower extremity amputations that occur are preventable.

With diabetes prevalence and its complications on the rise, especially among emerging economies around the world, amputations related to diabetes is expected to deal a devastating blow to particularly to fragile and unstable regions of the world. The DAP Foundation was organized to educate all partners in the health care delivery system about alternatives to high level lower extremity amputations.
