Fourth Annual "Keeping In Circulation" Event at the Gardens

For the fourth year in a row, the Vascular Disease Foundation sponsored its annual "Keeping In Circulation" walk and program in Colorado. This year it was held August 24 at The Hudson Gardens. Participants heard excellent presentations about causes and treatments of PAD by Michael Podolak, MD, and learned ideas for prevention, exercise and nutrition from Therese Ida, RN, RD. Attendees also picked up some educational materials, and handouts from Aventis and other sponsors, and all were able to receive free screening and consultation about PAD. Surveys from participants unanimously rated the program as very helpful. It was a fabulous morning to enjoy touring the beautifully landscaped gardens and exercise those just screened legs!

We are grateful to our sponsors for helping to make this yet another successful event.
