The Society for Vascular Surgery was founded on July 3rd, 1946 at the Fairmount Hotel in San Francisco, California by thirty-one vascular surgeons looking to improve the field. In August 2021, the SVS kicked off a year-long celebration of its 75th anniversary. As part of this celebration, the SVS Foundation will be hosting the "Cheers to 75 Years Gala" in Boston on June 17th. This fundraiser will allow the SVS Foundation to make even greater progress in accomplishing its mission of optimizing the vascular health and well-being of patients and the public through support of research.   

To discuss the upcoming gala and the SVS Foundation, we have three guests with us today:
