We’re the Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures, a nonprofit organization dedicated to transforming health outcomes and well-being for all through patient-centered research, empowerment, and collaboration in vascular health. Our team of physicians, nurses, public health specialists, caregivers, and patients is excited to bring you the courses, flyers, and other resources that are part of the Vascular Health Equity Academy.
The Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures’ Patient Partners helped design and review our resources to make sure the information is focused on the patient experience. These resources are designed to help patients better understand their condition and empower them to ask questions and share concerns with their healthcare providers.
If you are a healthcare professional or community-based organization interested in distributing our educational materials, please fill out our material use request form.
What is Peripheral Neuropathy and How is it Different from Ischemia?
Peripheral neuropathy occurs when the nerves that are outside of your brain and spinal cord are damaged. Neuropathy can happen for many reasons, but one of the most common causes is unmanaged Type II Diabetes. In some cases, neuropathy is reversible, but in others, the nerves are permanently damaged. Learn more about peripheral neuropathy in this flyer.
