This week on The Heart of Innovation, hosts Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips sit down for a powerful, patient-driven holiday special—one that reveals what people living with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) truly wish for this season.

PAD is more common than prostate, breast, and colon cancer combined, yet still misunderstood. Our in-studio audience opened up about the physical and emotional toll of this disease—leg pain, cramps, burning, neuropathy, and wounds that won't heal—and the everyday battles most people never see.

Their holiday wish list was honest, raw, and deeply human:

More doctors trained in advanced limb-saving tools and techniques
Fewer preventable amputations related to PAD and diabetes
A world where fewer people smoke or vape, as nicotine and cannabis use fuel earlier, more aggressive PAD
And a collective wish for patients themselves to enter the new year committed to realistic goals, healthier habits, and becoming active partners in their own care

This conversation is heartfelt, unfiltered, and filled with the courage of people who refuse to give up hope. If you or someone you love is living with PAD, you won't want to miss this episode. To learn more about PAD and advanced limb saving treatment options, call the Global PAD Association's Leg Saver Hotline at 1-833-PAD-LEGS.
