Rainy weather on April 10 could not dampen the enthusiasm for a new mural dedicated to informing the public about peripheral artery disease (commonly called PAD). A crowd of community members, researchers, and artists gathered in Northeast Kansas City to celebrate the area’s newest mural at 2607 Independence Ave. and to learn about a condition that affects 8.5 million Americans and causes pain while walking.
The following news media reports provide additional insight into the project.
