🧦❤️ It’s National Red Sock Day! ❤️🧦

Today we wear red socks to raise awareness about Peripheral Artery Disease (P.A.D.) — a serious but often underdiagnosed circulatory condition that affects millions.

Leg pain when walking?
Cold feet or slow-healing wounds?

These could be signs of P.A.D. Early detection saves limbs and lives. Talk to your healthcare provider if you’re at risk — especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a history of smoking.

Put on your red socks, snap a pic, and help spread the word!
