The SVSConnect mobile app — for cell phones and tablets — brings easy access to collaboration, engagement and communication with your SVS member colleagues and thought leaders.

App Directions

It only takes a few minutes to get set up – just follow the below steps.

  1. Search for “MemberCentric” in either the App Store or Google Play.
  2. Download the “MemberCentric (HUG)” app.
  3. Once installed, search for “SVS” on the welcome screen.
  4. Login with your SVS account credentials.
  5. Hit ‘OK’ when you receive a notification prompt about the app icon change.
  6. Join a discussion, search for fellow members and share resources right from your phone.

Within the app you can do everything you’re able to do on your desktop computer, but more easily. Continue discussing topics such as outpatient treatment centers, popliteal artery access and carotid surveillance imaging. Follow our newly launched bi-weekly “Tip Tuesday” that we share to enhance both your community experience and your SVS membership experience. Coming soon, we’ll have smaller communities where committees, affiliate members or interest groups can communicate and collaborate privately.

Get started today to join the discussion, expand your network and build your community.

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.
