Local doctor lectures at national conference

Dr. Lawrence A. DiDomenico, managing partner of Ankle and Foot Care Centers, was invited to present a lecture at the Save A Leg, Save A Life (SALSAL) Foundation’s national conference this month in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. Dr. DiDomenico, who sees patients out of Ankle and Foot Care Centers’ Boardman, East Liverpool and Northside offices, along with his partner Dr. Gregory Blasko, is co-founder of the Youngstown SALSAL chapter.

SALSAL’s goal is to “reduce the number of lower extremity amputations and to improve the quality of life for our fellow citizens who are afflicted with wounds and complications of diabetes and peripheral arterial disease.”

The topic of Dr. DiDomenico’s lecture was working with interventionalists in planning surgery.

“We are honored that one of our physicians had the opportunity to present at the SALSAL national conference,” said Michael Vallas, practice administrator. “SALSAL is doing important work and Dr. DiDomenico has been instrumental in bringing that message to the Mahoning Valley.”
