We are hosting a screening for peripheral arterial disease.  Appointments will be scheduled and will take about 15 minutes each.  There are a limited number of appointments available.  People who are most at risk for this disease  are generally over the age of 60, are diabetic or smoke.  Some signs and symptoms are:  pain while walking and sores on your feet that will not heal.  A series of blood pressures will be taken in your arms and legs to determine if there is a decrease in blood flow.  A vascular surgeon will discuss your results with you.   Free valet parking will be provided for this event. To find out if you qualify for this screening, please call 1-800-472-8500 to see if this screening can benefit you.
