YRMC - Circulatory Problems and Non-Healing Wounds?
Help is Here Thanks to
YRMC’s New Vein Center
People who suffer from circulatory problems in
their legs know the condition is painful, debilitating
and complicated.
“Circulatory problems are very dangerous and
limit how people live and enjoy their lives,” said
Anil Kumar, MD, FACCP, RPVI, Medical Director
of Yavapai Regional Medical Center’s (YRMC’s)
Vein Center.
What causes these circulatory problems? A condi-
tion called chronic venous insufficiency is linked to
circulatory problems in the legs.
“Chronic venous insufficiency is a problem for
millions of Americans and is the number one reason
why people have hard-to-heal wounds on their lower
extremities,” stated Dr. Kumar. “YRMC’s new Vein
Center is dedicated to addressing vein health and the
complicated health problems associated with these
vein-related circulatory problems.”
Dr. Kumar is uniquely qualified to lead YRMC’s
Vein Center. He is Board Certified in Vascular Medi-
cine and in therapies to improve circulation in the
veins. He is also a member of the American College of
Phlebology, the professional society for physicians who
treat vein disorders.
Dr. Kumar and YRMC’s Vein Center staff partner
with experts from YRMC’s Wound Care program to
help people with hard-to-heal ulcers and wounds – a re-
sult of poor circulation. If the patient needs it, an Infec-
tious Disease physician is available for consultation and
treatment. The Vein Center also works with YRMC’s
Diabetes Education program – recognized by the Amer-
ican Diabetes Association for Quality Self-Management
Education – to help patients better manage diabetes, an-
other reason for poor circulation in the veins.
