Bringing Together the Greatest Minds to Improve Vascular Health

The Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures is leveraging the skills and passion of all stakeholders in vascular healthcare to address pressing unmet needs.

Convening Leaders in Healthcare to Address Unmet Needs

A neutral, trusted member of the vascular health ecosystem whose only priority is the patient. We believe that collaboration, not competition, is the best way to achieve results. We are convening influential leaders from care, research, regulatory agencies, insurance, industry and advocacy around the patient voice to identify and prioritize unmet needs. These turn into collaborative research projects, working groups, or special programs that create short-term impact in vascular healthcare.

The Foundation to Advance Vascular Cures facilitates solutions through collaboration between the most influential parties in healthcare including health systems, payers, biopharma, device manufacturers, multiple care specialties, researchers and regulatory agencies. Our national network of leaders represents more than 100 premier medical institutions, the FDA/NIH, patient advocacy groups and industry leaders across North America.

We want to connect with anyone who is passionate about improving patient health. We collaborate through program partnerships and sponsorships, national grants and our Vascular Health Impact Network. Our national network represents more than 100 premier medical institutions, the FDA/NIH, patient advocacy groups and industry leaders across North America. The Impact Network is an invitation-only community of decision-makers in vascular healthcare representing leaders from diverse stakeholder groups and specialties.
