 President's Letter


Dear Pacific Northwest Vascular Society Members:

The 31st Annual Meeting of the Pacific Northwest Vascular Society will be held October 17-18, 2013 at The Coeur d’Alene Resort in Coeur d’Alene, ID . We will have an opening reception on Thursday, followed by ​a day long scientific session on Friday, October 18. In addition to the usual excellent paper presentations, we will have a first-rate invited speaker.

The Coeur d’Alene Resort is a top-notch resort which has been ranked by Travel & Leisure Magazine as one of the top 500 Worlds Best Hotels, as well as receiving the AAA Four Diamond and Mobil Four Star award annually since 1986.    With luxurious accommodations, fine dining options, as well as a first rate golf course and spa, the Coeur d’Alene is a spectacular destination for the 31st Annual Meeting. 

Please consider inviting friends and colleagues to attend this year’s meeting as your guest. Not only will they enjoy the meeting facilities, they will thank you for sharing with them the excellent presentations and information shared at this event.

Attending the Annual Meeting as a guest is a great way to be introduced to membership. If you would like to invite a guest to the meeting, please inform PNWVS Headquarters at events@lp-etc.com.   We look forward to an excellent scientific and social program and hope to see you in October.


Jerry C. Chen, MD
