“We were very pleased with the amount of participation, since this is only the third year of the event. I’m sure it will continue to grow in the coming years,” says Tracey Grayzer, spokesperson for Alamance Regional.
The 5K served as the kick-off event for the Free Vascular Screening which will be held Tuesday night, October 20 at Alamance Regional. The hospital is expecting to screen approximately 200 people for vascular disease.
“While heart disease remains the country’s number one killer, vascular disease cripples countless people each year. Early detection of vascular disease through screening can prevent serious and even fatal outcomes,” says Dr. Andy Hearn of Carolina Vascular & Vein. <
