Vascular Disease Awareness Month - September 2019

The Circulation Foundation strives to highlight and promote awareness of vascular disease to the general public, so that everyone understands how important their work is. Vascular disease is the collective term for diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatics. Every part of the body to which blood flows can be affected by it.
