The Eastern Vascular Society (EVS) has incorporated a day of service into its 2024 annual meeting, being held in Charleston, South Carolina (Sept. 19–22).
Leading vascular surgeons, alongside nurse practitioners and advanced practice partners, will educate local residents about their peripheral vascular health under an initiative entitled, “From A to V: Completing the Circuit. The Truth About Arteries and Veins.”
The event, which takes place at. St. Julian Devine Community Center in downtown Charleston on Friday, Sept. 20, from 6.30–8.30 p.m., includes a free screening and compression stockings for the members of the public who attend.
A multidisciplinary panel will provide expert advice about both arterial and venous disease, including on the most common signs and symptoms of venous insufficiency. A question-and-answer session will also form part of the event.
Vascular surgeons A. Sharee Wright, MD, from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) in Charleston, Misaki M. Kiguchi, MD, from Medstar Washington Hospital Center in Washington, D.C., and Anil Hingorani, MD, from NYU Langone in New York City, are among the panelists.
