Protecting Limbs. Improving Lives.
Explore our specialized care management for patients with diabetes, vascular disease, and chronic wounds—helping prevent disease progression and limb loss.
Whole-Person Care for members with diabetes that prevent limb loss
HHN provides whole-person care for people with diabetes and limb loss, helping prevent complications, support recovery, and protect long-term health. We coordinate medical care, behavioral health, and community support to close care gaps and keep members stable.
Specialized Care Tailored for Member Needs.
Not all diabetic patients require the same level or type of care. At HHN, we are well-versed in delivering specialized, proactive support tailored to each Member’s stage in their diabetes journey. Our care plans are customized by population group to ensure every Member receives the right care at the right time.
Diabetes & Limb Loss Preservation
HHN delivers whole-person care for members with uncontrolled diabetes, chronic wounds, and limb loss. We coordinate medical care, behavioral health, and social supports to stabilize health, prevent complications, and protect mobility. Our team connects high-risk members to wound and vascular care, prosthetics, rehabilitation, and mental health support to address the emotional impact of limb loss and chronic disease. This integrated approach improves quality of life and drives better limb preservation and long-term outcomes.
01
Unmanaged Diabetes
Members with a confirmed diagnosis of diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) who show signs of poor glycemic control or lack of disease management.
02
Diabetes with Risk for Amputation
Members with diabetes who exhibit complications that increase risk of limb loss but have not yet had an amputation.
03
Diabetes with Amputation
Members with diabetes who have undergone a lower extremity amputation (toe, foot, or limb).
04
Amputation with Risk for another Amputation
Members with one or more previous amputations who show clinical indicators for potential subsequent amputation.
“About 55% of individuals who have a lower-limb amputation due to diabetes and vascular disease will lose the other leg within 2–3 years.”
Coordinated Care Through Partnership
HHN doesn’t replace existing providers—we partner with them. Our care managers, nurses, and behavioral health specialists work alongside primary care, specialists, hospitals, and community based organizations to make sure members get the right care, at the right time, in the right setting.

Partner With Us to Reduce Diabetes-Related Amputations
Our programs are built for the populations most at risk. Black and Brown Americans face significantly higher rates of severe diabetes complications, including a 2–3× increased likelihood of lower-limb amputation. We deliver proactive foot health monitoring, adherence support, and social determinants of health interventions to prevent escalations before they occur. Whether you are a health plan seeking specialized care for your Members, or a physician looking for support managing high-risk diabetic patients, we want to partner with you to improve outcomes and prevent avoidable complications.
