Foot screening continues tomorrow from 10am to 3pm at the St. Peter's Clinic

Peripheral Artery Disease is a condition where the blood vessels that carry blood to your legs and feet become narrowed or blocked. This can cause pain while walking, slow healing of wounds, and increase the risk of serious complications like heart attack or stroke.

👥 Who’s most at risk?

People over 50 years old

Those who smoke or previously smoked

Individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol

People with a family history of heart or vascular disease

💡 PAD often develops silently — many don’t realize they have it until it’s advanced.

📢 Throughout September, we will be sharing more information and announcing screening opportunities in the community.

👉 Stay tuned to our page for updates and protect your heart and circulation health!
