Strengthening a Global Community of Limb Preservation Experts
For ALPS, the Asia Tour is an opportunity to build stronger connections between healthcare professionals, encourage cross-disciplinary collaboration, and elevate standards of care across borders.
Georgia Krehbiel, MBA, CEO of ALPS, shares:
“For ALPS, the Asia Tour is about much more than a series of conferences. It is about building lasting relationships and creating a global community of healthcare professionals who can learn from one another, share experiences, and work together to improve limb preservation. The challenges of preventing amputation may differ from country to country, but the need for early diagnosis, coordinated care, and strong multidisciplinary teams is universal.
We are not simply bringing education to Asia. We are listening, learning, and creating meaningful two-way exchanges with our colleagues across the region. By bringing together vascular surgeons, podiatrists, wound care specialists, endocrinologists, nurses, and other members of the limb preservation team, we can break down traditional silos, share best practices, and translate knowledge into better patient care. Our goal is to build connections that extend beyond the conference and help elevate standards of limb preservation and improve outcomes for patients across borders.”
Advancing the Mission
With educational programs spanning North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, ALPS continues to serve as a leading platform for multidisciplinary learning, scientific exchange, and professional collaboration. The ALPS Asia Tour 2026 underscores the organization’s commitment to turning knowledge into action by equipping healthcare professionals with practical approaches that preserve limbs, improve quality of life, and deliver better outcomes for patients around the world.
