Meeting a Great Need
The number of Americans with diabetes and other chronic illnesses such as PAD is rapidly growing — according to CDC estimates in the year 2050 as many as 1 in 3 Americans will have diabetes unless we make strong lifestyle changes. In addition to this, we have an increasing population of elderly…and they are living longer. This means the foot-care trained nurse will be able to serve a growing number of people who will urgently need these skills.
