PAD is a chronic circulatory condition that affects over 20 million Americans and is more common than Alzheimer’s, Stroke and most forms of cancer. Of those diagnosed with PAD, it is estimated that 200,000 of them – disproportionately from minority communities – will suffer avoidable amputations every year. Untreated PAD can be dangerous because it can lead to painful symptoms or loss of a leg, and patients with PAD have an increased risk of coronary artery disease, stroke and heart attack.

By increasing PAD awareness, USA Vascular Centers strives to improve access to PAD screening and treatments which is shown to improve quality of life, reduce care costs, and prevent limb loss.
