Patients as Partners
Bringing the patient voice to the table everywhere decisions are being made.
For Patients, With Patients
Vascular Cures is committed to advocating for the prioritization of the patient voice in innovation.
Our Patients as Partners Program is designed to facilitate the engagement of patient advisors in national research and care improvement initiatives. We are also interested in engaging caregivers and family members impacted by vascular disease. We are fostering a community of representative, empowered advocates to claim their seat at the table as true Partners.
Partner Project Examples:
- Design & review of patient educational materials
- Design & review of provider content
- Input on clinical trial design outcomes
- Consulting on clinical guideline updates
- Advising on national public health initiatives
