Unsung Heroes: The Overlooked Impact of Foot Health | Lena Yellowtail | TEDxRiverOaks
Our feet carry us through life, often unnoticed until they speak up in pain. But did you know they can reveal important insights about your overall health?
Lena Yellowtail, RN with 17 years of experience across medical, surgical, and intensive care units, shares how feet can tell powerful health stories. Since 2014, Lena has worked in primary care at the Sheridan VA Health Care System, becoming a Certified Foot Care Specialist and PAVE Coordinator. Today, she focuses on education, teaching staff about vascular impairments, early interventions, and preventing amputations in Veterans.
A Crow Indian Reservation rancher, Lena lives with her husband Wailes and is a proud mother of four college-educated children serving their communities. In this TEDx talk, Lena combines research, personal experience, and compelling stories to show why our feet deserve far more attention.
