The Methodist Diabetic Foot and Ankle Institute, opening in the Northeast Pavilion of the hospital campus, is an extension of an existing program at Methodist Hospital in San Antonio, according to hospital staff.

The clinic will work to prevent limb amputations of those with diabetes, Chief Operating Officer Felicia De La Garza told Community Impact.

“I think our patients here, especially in this area, have the need for [care of] peripheral vascular disease,” De La Garza said.
