The stated organizational mission of the PAD Coalition of Philadelphia is to increase public awareness and to improve awareness among first line healthcare providers. The primary tool of our organization is education. We appreciate the opportunity to speak to small and large community groups including social organizations, professional organizations, adult living facilities, institutions of worship and municipal or state political functions. We all have colleagues, friends and families who have been touched by PAD, a heart attack or a stroke. PAD knows no boundaries.

The Partners Study, a large analysis of clinical practices among first line healthcare providers, revealed a surprisingly low application of basic screening for PAD. The simple 5 minute test, an ankle brachial Index (ABI), was very underutilized to discover increased risk of stroke and heart attack. The PAD Coalition welcomes the opportunity to speak to healthcare groups regarding the identification of this process.
