When an abdominal aorta aneurysm forced Ronald to find new care, he never would have guessed that new care would then give him an entirely new outlook on life and managing his health.

When his legs swelled up so bad he couldn’t walk, Alfio was referred to Henry Ford Hospital for what would be a long care journey, including lifesaving treatment at Henry Ford Hospital.
