The Vascular Disease Foundation (VDF) ceased operations in January 2014. In October 2014, Vascular Cures acquired most of VDF’s digital assets and educational resources. VDF was founded in 1998 with the mission to provide public education and improve awareness about vascular diseases. Vascular Cures is now the only organization in the country dedicated exclusively to finding cures for vascular disease and to provide resources, information, and education to patients with vascular diseases outside the heart. Learn about the people we are helping here. Learn more about the many vascular diseases, their risk factors, and how to prevent vascular disease here.
