Vascular Cures

We serve as the fiscal sponsor of american limb preservation society. When we launched project voice, it was the first digital health program to improveoutcomes for patients with peripheral artery disease (pad). Project voice will 1)bring patients into the healthcare conversation, manage their own health and sharein decision-making; 2) enable researchers to gather patient-reported outcomes data,currently a crucial gap in both research and healthcare and 3) improvepatient-physician partnerships through higher quality information exchange andshared decision-making. The ultimate goal is to improve outcomes and lowerhealthcare costs.

The Wylie Scholar Program provides 3-year career development grants to outstanding young vascular surgeon-scientists who combine active patient care with academic research. The award supports crucial research that enables them to compete for future research funding. Wylie Scholars become North Americas world-class vascular surgeon-scientists; many are now chiefs at major academic centers, prominent leaders in the field, and play a key role in our programs. Since 1996, weve supported 24 surgeon-scientists at 15 institutions around the country who are transforming patient care. The average return on investment for follow-on research funding is 30:1.
