• Vascular Techniques & Technology Thinktank (VAST3®), an annual CME accredited vascular education meeting for vascular specialists focused on problem-solving approaches to complex vascular disease using cutting-edge techniques and technologies.
• V-Healthy®, a grassroots vascular disease education, awareness, and prevention campaign that empowers high school students to understand the impact of vascular disease risks that might affect their vascular health decades later.
• V-Aware® Journal, a vascular education & awareness magazine developed to educate and empower the public to better understand their vascular health.
