Free PAD Screenings

Posted: Feb. 1, 2007

Are you one of ten million Americans suffering from leg pain? You could be at a greater risk for heart disease and stroke.

If you suffer pain or cramping in your legs when walking, you may be at risk for developing Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). The build up of plaque in the arteries of your legs signifies that your risk for cardiovascular disease is increased.

You can determine your level of risk by attending one of our free PAD screenings. A simple and painless test to measure blood flow in your legs will provide immediate results. You will also have a consultation with a physician.

Call (414) 326-1745 for a schedule of upcoming screenings and to register.
