The APEX team believes in keeping communities healthy, which is why we are committed to exceeding the expectations of our partners. A limb preservation center may be in the form of an office-based endovascular lab, a freestanding or hospital-based wound care/hyperbaric center, or an ambulatory surgery center. APEX also offers a disease management program for payers, which focuses on saving limbs while reducing costs.
Dr. Jain is Chief Medical Officer for APEX and founder of Limb Preservation Centers of America®. He is a board-certified vascular surgeon who has been intimately involved in the growth of office-based endovascular labs (OBLs) throughout the U.S. since 2007. He is a founding member of the Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society (OEIS) and a distinguished fellow of Society for Vascular Surgery (SVS). Dr. Jain has authored many widely-quoted papers and has written the textbook that serves as an expert guide in developing and operating an OBL, entitled “Office-Based Endovascular Centers” (Jain, K. M., 2019. Office-Based Endovascular Centers. Elsevier Health Sciences).
The Limb Preservation Centers of America (LPCA) was the creation of a mission-driven vascular surgeon, Krishna Jain, MD, whose career has been dedicated to saving limbs. APEX Health Network develops and manages LPCAs, wound care and hyperbaric programs and also partners with doctors in developing and managing office-based endovascular centers and/or ambulatory surgery centers, all with a focus on limb preservation.
A wound care center treats chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, venous ulcers and pressure ulcers. A Limb Preservation Center places a focus on prevention and timely intervention to improve management of diabetic foot ulcers/infections and other limb-threatening conditions. In addition, our world-renowned limb preservation experts ensure that best practices are followed to avoid unnecessary major lower-limb amputations.

Depending on space needs and which components of the program must be developed, the process can take anywhere from three to six months. Our team will work with you to identify your specific needs and come up with a timeline. We tailor the program to meet your needs.
