What They Are Saying About the PAD Atlas |

 "The
launch of the PAD Atlas is of great significance, especially
to the racial and ethnic minority community. Being able to identify
PAD prevalence among constituents is extremely useful to reduce
preventable illness and will help raise awareness of and address
health disparities in these underserved populations," said Rep.
Donna M. Christensen (D-VI). |
