Every leg saved has a story behind it — and this week on The Heart of Innovation, you'll meet the nurse practitioners who live those stories every day.

Kym McNicholas and Dr. John Phillips chat with four remarkable OhioHealth NPs — Chelsea Jones, Elizabeth Murray, Brittany Byce, and Rebecca Lawler — to share what it's really like to help patients fight peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia inside a large hospital system.

They open up about:


The split-second decisions that can mean the difference between amputation and recovery


The emotional moments that stay with them long after a shift ends


The gaps in care they're constantly trying to close for PAD patients


And yes… the hilarious "Nonsense Board" where they log the wild moments that keep them sane

It's raw. It's real. It's the life of a limb-saving NP — equal parts heart, grit, urgency, and humor.

If you or someone you love is living with PAD, struggling to navigate the system, or wondering what limb-saving care actually looks like behind the scenes, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and a whole new appreciation for the clinicians fighting for patients every single day.
