Dr. Foluso Fakorede Biography

Dr. Foluso Fakorede is a board-certified interventional cardiologist and advocate for health equity, known for his work in medically underserved regions of the United States. Fakorede earned a Bachelor of Arts in biology with a minor in economics from Rutgers University and received his medical degree from UMDNJ–Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Camden, New Jersey. He completed his internship and residency in internal medicine at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell Hospital, followed by fellowship training in cardiology, interventional cardiology, and endovascular intervention at Cooper University Hospital, where he served as Chief Cardiology Fellow. Fakorede specializes in preventive cardiovascular management, women's heart health, and catheter-based treatments for coronary and peripheral atherosclerosis disease, with expertise in limb salvage and minimally invasive techniques.

Fakorede founded Cardiovascular Solutions of Central Mississippi in the Mississippi Delta to address health disparities and improve access to cardiovascular care. He implemented aggressive screening, community education, and intervention strategies to address high rates of peripheral artery disease (PAD) and critical limb ischemia, conditions that disproportionately affect Black and low-income populations. His efforts contributed to a significant reduction in amputation rates in the region, as highlighted in CathLab Digest. Fakorede collaborates with lawmakers, universities, faith-based organizations, and community stakeholders to promote cardiovascular education and equitable access to care.

As co-chair of the Association of Black Cardiologists' PAD Initiative, Fakorede worked with Congressional lawmakers to establish the bipartisan PAD Caucus, focused on advancing legislation to prevent avoidable amputations and improve PAD research, education, and treatment. He has testified on Capitol Hill and participated in a Congressional Delegation to Cuba to address diabetes management and its impact on PAD. Fakorede has contributed to policy documents, including the ACC/AHA PAD guideline peer review committee and the Society of Interventional Radiology's "Closing the Gaps in Amputation Research" consensus paper. His work has been featured by CBS News, NBC News, Business Insider, Men's Health Magazine, and Reader's Digest, and he has appeared on platforms such as the Tavis Smiley Podcast and the Rickey Smiley show to raise public awareness about cardiovascular health disparities.

Fakorede's contributions have been recognized with honors including the American Heart Association's Louis B. Russell Jr. Memorial Award, the Cardiovascular Research Foundation's Pulse-Setter Crusader Award, and the National Medical Association's Practitioner of the Year Award. He has been named to The Root 100 Most Influential African Americans list and recognized as a member of the STATUS List, which highlights individuals in health, medicine, and science. The Association of Black Cardiologists presented him with its Public Policy Award, and the Alliance for Aging Research named him a Silver Innovator. Fakorede was also honored in the U.S. Congressional Record by Representative Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi. In addition to his clinical and advocacy roles, Fakorede serves as CEO of Fusion Vascular Center and as an advisory board member of Men's Health magazine, contributing to public discourse on cardiovascular disease, health equity, and preventive medicine.
