This free screening program is offered from 9 a.m. until noon at the Medical Center on the date noted. Patients are asked to enter through the outpatient entrance.
Who should schedule an appointment? Individuals who experience a feeling of heaviness or pain in their legs while walking. A common cause of such leg pain may be poor circulation or peripheral artery disease (PAD). This condition affects nearly 10 million Americans. If not treated, PAD can impair your ability to walk or lead to other serious conditions.
