About Us : Activities

The Coalition has created the first comprehensive, national public and health professional P.A.D. awareness and education campaign. Our activities help ensure that the detection and treatment of P.A.D. becomes, and remains, a major priority on our national public health agenda. We are working to:

• Increase P.A.D. awareness through a national campaign developed in partnership with the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute of the National Institutes of Health:  Stay in Circulation: Take Steps to Learn about P.A.D.
• Disseminate evidence-based guidelines and clinical practice tools to health professionals, hospitals, health plans and health systems to improve P.A.D. prevention, diagnosis, and treatment;
• Educate PAD patients about treatment strategies to improve survival rates and quality of life; and
• Advocate for health care policies and practices that ensure access to evidence-based diagnostic and treatment strategies to improve P.A.D. outcomes.
