Second Annual "Keeping in Circulation" Event is a Success!

For the second year, the Vascular Disease Foundation sponsored its "Keeping in Circulation" walk and program at the Denver Botanic Gardens on August 27th. This year's event included comprehensive talks by speakers on peripheral arterial disease. Approximately 50 people gathered to learn about the risk factors, symptoms, treatment and ways to prevent PAD. Our speakers included Dr. Michael Podolak, Susan Scherer, PT and Rob Daigle, RVT. After hearing the speakers, individuals stayed for a free screening and consultation. This was a fabulous morning to enjoy the Botanic gardens and stretch those recently screened legs! Thanks to our sponsors: Denver Botanic Gardens, Rose Community Foundation, Turning Point Massage Therapy, Porter Adventist Hospital, Nicolet Vascular, KEZW, Vascular Institute of the Rockies and AstraZeneca. Thank you to our volunteers for the presentations and to the volunteers that conducted the screenings: Hank Arrellano, RVT and Dan Gautier, RVT.
