Nov 15, 2018 Download Diabetes Patient Information Flier

The SVS Foundation is releasing its second new patient information flier – on diabetes and vascular disease – just in time for National Diabetes Month in November.

The fliers are great for sharing with your patients and other physicians or for anytime you provide information to the public. The SVS Foundation is producing a total of nine new fliers in English and Spanish on common topics for vascular patients. A flier on PAD was released in September.

Each flier is available in several formats – low-resolution digital for email and web use, and high-resolution for professional printing of larger quantities. The new fliers come in two versions, one with a personalization area for your name and contact information and the other with a link to the SVS “Find a Surgeon” web page.

Visit vsweb.org/FoundationFliers to access all versions of the fliers, including both high- and low-resolution versions.

Progress made during year like no other

While the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects dominated 2020–21 fiscal year—including the cancellation of the live 2020 Vascular Annual Meeting (VAM)—it did not deter progress on many important initiatives. “When covid hit, it intensified our focus on what was truly important: our members, their patients and the SVS as their Society,” said Executive Director Kenneth M. Slaw, PhD. “That focus was sustained the past 15 months and it has led to innovation and an unprecedented volume of member value programs.” He outlined important highlights from the fiscal year that ended March 31—just more than a year after the pandemic was declared—and the vital initiatives that continue to move forward.
