The Vascular Health Challenge
We are challenging you to walk 60 miles throughout September to represent the 60,000 miles of blood vessels in the human body. The inaugural Vascular Health Challenge to benefit the SVS Foundation will amplify the importance of vascular health while also promoting healthy vascular health habits in communities across the country!
Help us raise $60,000 to bring awareness of the benefits walking has for vascular health. Everyone is invited to sign up and can choose to participate individually or on a team. Funds raised will support the SVS Foundation in providing fitness trackers for low-income patients to use while participating in supervised exercise therapy programs.
Complex Peripheral Vascular Intervention Skills Course
Reserve your spot for the Oct. 23-24 SVS Complex Peripheral Vascular Intervention Skills Course before it fills up. The course will consist of didactic & case-based learning along with a full-day workshop of hands-on training. Learn from experts and advance your skills so you can better treat patients with peripheral arterial disease.
