Referrals matter because timing matters. When patients with circulation issues are referred early, outcomes improve, and treatment options expand. We are proud to partner with providers across the region to make vascular care easier in 2026.

What is PAD? Peripheral artery disease happens when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the legs. Symptoms are often mistaken for aging or joint pain. If walking has become harder or slower, it may be time to get your circulation checked. Schedule an evaluation today.
