Educational Flyers
This collection of flyers was designed with the patient in mind. The content carries a “patient seal of approval.” It can all be downloaded too!

Vascular Cures’ Patient Partners helped design and review each flyer to make sure the information is focused on the patient experience. The flyers are designed to help patients better understand their condition and empower them to ask questions and share concerns with their healthcare providers.
