Introduces Peripheral Arterial Disease Walking Program
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (November 12, 2014) – Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is thrilled to welcome Dr. Ehab N.
Mady as medical director for the Vascular Services Program of the Jeffrey
M. Carlton Heart and Vascular Institute. An accomplished physician who
specializes in vascular medicine, Dr. Mady’s training and expertise
are in the non-invasive vascular laboratory and medical management of
vascular disease.
As medical director for the Vascular Services Program, he has introduced
and helped launch the Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Supervised Walking
Exercise Program. The only hospital with a comprehensive program in Orange
County, Hoag offers medical therapies, surgical interventions and in addition
the new supervised exercise walking program that helps to reduce cardiovascular
events, improve quality of life and reduce limb loss from PAD. Monitored
by a trained registered nurse and an exercise physiologist, patients going
through the PAD Supervised Walking Program undergo medical assessments
during each of their one-hour visits, three days per week. Their progress
is meticulously monitored over six months.
"We are honored to have Dr. Mady lead the Vascular Services Program.
His experience in internal and vascular medicine brings innovation to
our state-of-the-art cardiac care facilities,” says Tom Lonergan,
executive operations director of the Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart and Vascular
Institute. "The PAD Walking Program is just one example of the services
Dr. Mady is developing to improve each patient’s overall quality
of life.”
Dr. Mady’s CV includes:
• Diplomate, American Board of Internal Medicine
• Diplomate, American Board of Vascular Medicine
• Doctor of Osteopathy degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine
• Residency in Internal Medicine and Fellowship in Vascular Medicine
at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio
• Register Physician in Vascular Interpretation by the American Registry

Understanding the need in the community, Hoag began the development of
the Vascular Services Program to provide superior, comprehensive care
right here in Orange County. One of the first steps of the program is
the launch of the PAD Walking Program. The Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart and
Vascular Institute is one of the preeminent cardiovascular centers on
the West Coast and is well respected for delivering the highest level
of quality cardiac care. The Carlton Heart and Vascular Institute is a
recognized leader in cardiovascular medicine offering the most advanced
