About P.A.D.: What is P.A.D.: Find a Screening Site

Several Coalition partners conduct screenings for P.A.D. during September, P.A.D. Awareness Month, and throughout the year.  Many of these screenings are free, but space is limited. For a screening, most sites perform the ankle-brachial index (ABI), a simple test that compares the blood pressure in your ankles with the blood pressure in your arms.
