Eliminating the Health Disparity of the Diabetic Foot: A Continuing Public Health Crisis for African Americans and Latinos

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to maintain attention to the plight of prevention of the diabetic foot ulcer, particularly for those racial/ethnic minority persons who must not be overlooked for healthcare measures that can save their lives, and for healthcare providers to not allow ones inability to pay be a rejection for not preserving that life and quality of life.
