My Steps PAD Treatment Program
...with Performance Coach Susan Davis
My Steps PAD Treatment Program is a comprehensive compliance program. We have both formal and informal options that include individualized and group support. The 16-week formal program must be requested by and supported by your physician. The informal program is designed for long-term adherence to lifestyle modifications, offering real-time free support from our wellness team with Q&A about what your healthcare team has already prescribed in terms of diet, exercise, stress reduction, and smoking cessation. We help you reach your goals! See some samples of our exercise and stress reduction programs below.
