About Us:

The Society for the Advancement of Vascular Education and Research (SAVER) was established in June 2004 in an effort to:

• promote the education and training of vascular technologists and physicians involved in the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease
• to initiate patient screening and education programs for the early detection of cardiovascular disease in the at-risk population
• and to provide focused research in the area of vascular disease assessment.

SAVER is a section 501 (c)(3) private, nonprofit organization dedicated to training caregivers in the assessment and treatment of vascular disease. SAVER is funded by a variety of corporate and private donations and is supported by numerous corporate sponsors by providing access to human resources and expertise in vascular disease.  SAVER, through the generosity of its corporate sponsors, provides development services and awards grants to individuals and organizations for initiatives aimed at improving the assessment and treatment of vascular disease.
