SPRINGFIELD – Those at risk of peripheral artery disease will soon have medical screening covered by insurance thanks to a new law championed by State Senator Napoleon Harris III.

“Early intervention can be lifesaving for those with PAD,” said Harris (D-Harvey).  “This law will increase the number of early intervention cases by eliminating financial hurdles to receive screening.”

Dear friend,
