About Vascular Cures' Patients as Partners Program

Vascular Cures is working towards a world where everyone has the opportunity to enjoy vascular health. We know that the best way for our healthcare system to truly address patient needs is with patients themselves. Patients as Partners is the first program of its kind to promote and include what matters most – the patient voice – everywhere decisions are being made in vascular care and research. We engage, train and empower patients and caregivers to become true partners in improving healthcare across the country. We also bring in stakeholders – physicians, researchers, professional societies, industry and other nonprofits – with mission-aligned projects, and support the engagement process. Projects to date have included designing educational content, advising on research design and even informing clinical guideline updates. We're incredibly proud of the program and our committed, passionate and brave team of patients and caregivers who are using their personal experience to improve the lives of others like them.  

Here are some things our Partners have to say about the experience:
"Patients as Partners let me make lemonade out of lemons. Sharing my story was easy."
"Connecting with Vascular Cures was one of the most powerful and amazing things that happened to me.”
“I didn’t realize that my diagnosis would lead me to opportunities that can help other people. I’ve had to make a lot of changes in my life. But in the end, it’s worth it.”
