Today, we honor the remarkable life and lasting legacy of Representative Donald M. Payne Jr., a devoted advocate for healthcare and limb preservation. His recent passing is a great loss, but his contributions to healthcare, especially in the field of limb preservation, will leave a lasting impact on countless lives.

Rep. Payne’s advocacy covered various areas of healthcare, including expanding access to high-quality, affordable care for all Americans. He actively supported the American Limb Preservation Society’s mission, working to raise awareness of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and its preventable impact on limb loss. His dedication to addressing health disparities and promoting equitable healthcare access was evident in his work on Medicare for All and other crucial initiatives.

We deeply appreciate Rep. Payne’s commitment to our cause. His memory will inspire us to continue his mission of compassion and advocacy for those at risk of limb loss. Let us honor his legacy by carrying forward his dedication to saving limbs and lives.
