Workshop on ABI
The Vascular Disease Foundation developed and presented a workshop on learning to perform the Ankle-Brachial Index examination. This program was developed for the Learning Center of the American College of Physicians, and presented at its Annual Meeting held in New Orleans in April. It was highly rated by the approximately 100 participants who attended.

Upcoming Meetings and Activities
The VDF is making plans again for the 4th Annual Keeping In Circulation Walk at the Botanic Gardens this summer.
