Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is the build-up of plaque inside the arteries of a patient’s lower extremities (i.e. legs and feet) and is a chronic, life-threatening condition, which often results in amputations. Left undetected and untreated, PAD can progressively worsen and increase one’s risk of having a cardiovascular event. To educate about PAD, the briefing will provide foot screenings by podiatrists to detect and treat PAD early.
