Amputation Prevention Experts Health Network

What Amputation Prevention Experts Health Network does

Amputation Prevention Experts Health Network (APEX) is a Pasadena, California-based healthcare management services company founded in 2016 that partners with hospitals and physician practices to develop and operate wound care centers, hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs, and Limb Preservation Centers of America (LPCA). The company's core offering is consultative center development and management — covering space planning and design, evidence-based clinical protocols, operational support, revenue cycle guidance, and marketing — anchored by a proprietary 'Four Pillars of Limb Preservation' framework (medical management, revascularization, wound care, neuropathy management) and the registered LPCA member network brand.

The business generates revenue primarily through managed services and professional services agreements with healthcare providers, with pricing handled via custom quote-based engagement letters. An add-on offering, Center Performance Analysis (CPA), audits existing programs across P&L, workflows, and quality/risk metrics. Customer segments include hospitals (primary), physician practices including MD, DO, and DPM groups (primary), and healthcare payers for disease management programs (secondary). Named LPCA network members include Southern Arizona Limb Preservation Center and Adventist Health White Memorial at both Los Angeles and Montebello locations.

The company operates with a six-person team led by President & CEO Miguel A. Sandoval (25+ years healthcare experience, co-founder of acquired-out Paradigm Medical Management), Chief Medical Officer Dr. Krishna Jain (board-certified vascular surgeon, OBL pioneer since 2007, author of the Elsevier textbook 'Office-Based Endovascular Centers'), and EVP/CNO Diane L. Boone (30 years wound care experience, former CEO of Paradigm). APEX is privately held as a California LLC with no disclosed institutional funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries; it operates exclusively in the United States.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Smith+Nephew: Smith+Nephew is a major medical device company in advanced wound management. Relevant as an upstream supplier and category-defining incumbent whose products and protocols influence the wound care centers APEX develops and manages.
• Solventum (3M Health Care): Solventum (spun off from 3M) provides broad healthcare solutions including wound care products and clinical management software. While not a direct competitor in center management, it shapes the procurement environment APEX's hospital clients operate within.

Direct peers

• Healogics: Healogics is the largest U.S. wound care management services company, partnering with hospitals to operate wound care centers. APEX competes for similar hospital wound care and hyperbaric center partnerships but with a distinct limb-preservation focus and Four Pillars methodology.
• Wound Care Advantage: Wound Care Advantage partners with hospitals to develop and manage wound care and hyperbaric programs. Direct peer in the hospital wound care management services category with comparable consulting, training, and operational support offerings.
• Diversified Clinical Services: Diversified Clinical Services develops and manages outpatient wound care and hyperbaric oxygen therapy programs for hospitals. Direct competitor to APEX's wound care and hyperbaric medicine management service lines with a comparable hospital partnership model.
• Accelecare Wound Centers: Accelecare operates hospital-based wound care and hyperbaric centers through management services agreements. Closely comparable business model to APEX in target customer (hospitals) and service scope (wound care plus hyperbaric).
• National Healing Corporation (Healogics legacy entity): Healogics' predecessor and current operation is the most established wound care center management firm in the U.S. APEX is differentiated by its limb preservation focus, but competes for the same hospital managed-services contracts.

Emerging players

• Vohra Wound Physicians: Vohra provides specialized wound care physician services to skilled nursing facilities and other post-acute settings. Overlaps with APEX in the wound care clinical domain and post-acute patient population, though focused on SNFs rather than hospital-based centers.
• Cardiovascular Institute of the South / National Cardiovascular Partners: National Cardiovascular Partners develops office-based endovascular labs (OBLs) and ambulatory surgery centers with vascular surgery focus. Overlaps with APEX's OBL development service line and limb preservation endovascular revascularization pillar.

Others

• OEIS (Outpatient Endovascular and Interventional Society): OEIS is the professional society for office-based endovascular labs, where APEX's CMO is a founding member. It is not a direct competitor but an ecosystem organization that shapes OBL clinical standards, training, and policy that materially affect APEX's go-to-market.
