L.I.V.E.:

Healing Limbs,
Saving Lives
Multispecialty approach
helps patients get
second chance BY ELISE SIMS
Terry Farrar, Kevin Gray
and Donna Markos were in
danger of losing their legs
and their lives. Because they were in the
right place at the right time, today they
are able to walk and enjoy life again.
The Limb Ischemia and Vascular
Excellence (L.I.V.E.) programs at the
hospitals of Community Healthcare
System-Community Hospital in
Munster, St. Catherine Hospital in East
Chicago and St. Mary Medical Center in
Hobart-use a team approach to care
for patients with leg vessel blockages,
limb ischemia and peripheral vascular
disease (PVD).
Community Healthcare System's
L.I.V.E. programs strive to improve

the overall health and well-being
of Northwest Indiana residents by
enhancing awareness and opening
the lines of communication between
patients and doctors. L.I.V.E. offers
a simplified approach to PVD, making
it easier for patients to take control
of their health.
"PVD affects 1 in 20 people over
the age of 50," says interventional cardiologist David Stewart, MD, medical director of the L.I.V.E. program at

Community Hospital. "Left untreated,
PVD limits the patient's ability to walk
normal distances and curbs everyday
activity. This disease process can actually progress to such a severe extent
that a patient may require amputation.
PVD does not affect only one part of the
body; it affects the arteries, the veins
and skin, and is closely tied to wound
healing, diabetes and cardiac health."
