Upperline Health was founded to provide the highest quality foot care to patients in need through a highly skilled and compassionate team. As one of the fastest-growing healthcare providers in the United States, we are building out a network of top podiatry practices across the country to partner with health plans and community providers to deliver comprehensive foot care in a consistent and high-quality manner. Upperline Health provides an extra layer of care to patients with a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) or patients at risk of developing a DFU, and intervenes with the appropriate care earlier. Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose limbs due to diabetes. Tragically, studies and research show that many of these amputations and the resulting decline in quality of life could have been prevented with proper foot care. We founded Upperline Health to bring together podiatry practices to address this gap in health care and to bring high-quality care to patients who need it most.
