The Amavita Foundation, a leading organization dedicated to advancing cardiovascular health and supporting patients facing chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), has announced the appointment of Patty Vila to its board of directors.
A seasoned media professional and president of Patty Vila Media, Vila brings a wealth of experience in strategic communications, community engagement, and leadership to the foundation.
With over 20 years of experience in public relations, marketing and media strategy, Vila founded Patty Vila Media to help businesses, nonprofits, and thought leaders tell their stories effectively. She also has been recognized for her dedication to fostering diversity and inclusion, receiving the 2024 Communications Award at the Hispanic Leadership Awards, hosted by the South Florida Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Her extensive network and deep understanding of cultural nuances make her an ideal advocate for the communities served by the Amavita Foundation.
As a board member, Vila will collaborate with the foundation’s leadership to strengthen outreach efforts, enhance awareness campaigns, and foster community partnerships. Her passion for advocacy and proven track record of delivering impactful results promise to elevate the foundation’s initiatives to new heights.
“I’m honored to join the board of the Amavita Foundation and support their groundbreaking work in improving cardiovascular health and saving lives,” Vila said. “This opportunity allows me to leverage my expertise in communications to further the foundation’s mission and make a lasting impact.”
Her dedication to amplifying stories that make a positive impact aligns seamlessly with the Amavita Foundation’s mission to improve health outcomes and enhance patient support.
Vila’s concentration will continue to amplify the care focus provided by the Miami Institute to Stop Amputations (MISA) as well as focus on peripheral arterial disease (PAD) outreach and now offering the Miami Initiative to Diagnose Aortic Stenosis. Vila will work on finding opportunities for new health screenings and lectures and help the foundation with fundraising as well.
“Patty Vila is a visionary leader whose commitment to empowering communities will be an incredible asset to our board,” said Dr. Pedro Martinez-Clark, an interventional cardiologist, founder of Amavita Heart and Vascular Health, and the Amavita Foundation. “Her expertise in media and communications will play a pivotal role in helping us amplify our message and reach more individuals in need.”
The Amavita Foundation is at the forefront of addressing critical gaps in healthcare, particularly for underserved populations. Through innovative programs, educational initiatives and partnerships with medical experts, the foundation is committed to reducing the prevalence of preventable amputations and improving quality of life for CLTI patients.
Vila also has garnered national recognition for her achievements. Most recently, she was honored as the Top CEO of the Year by the International Association of Top Professionals (IAOTP).
