OUR PROJECTS
-
We partner with patients, caregivers, and advocates to bring their perspectives to the table. Patients help advise research teams, co-develop educational material, and share their experiences and priorities with projects across the country.
-
We support programs that champion and conduct research that brings the patient voice to the decision-making table in studies. By aligning goals and outcomes with patient preferences, we are striving toward more relevant and impactful research.
-
Education is the first step towards empowerment, and it's important that patients have resources they can trust. Our flyers, videos, and other materials are detailed, clear, and accurate.
-
We work with communities across the country to raise awareness, build capacity, and improve outcomes related to vascular disease. By working with local organizations and advocates, we ensure an effective approach built on co-learning, shared resources, and authentic partnership.
-
True progress towards improving vascular research and care requires collaboration between stakeholders dedicated to equitable, impactful outcomes. The Vascular Health Innovation Network (VHIN) includes patients, researchers, providers, industry, and more - all striving towards cutting-edge ideas and projects that can save lives.
-
Supporting patient-centric research of early career vascular disease researchers helps build a brighter future for patients everywhere. We provide funding, support, and stewardship to these surgeon-scientists to advance their patient-centered research.
