SVS Media Campaign

< previous article | Table of Contents | next article >

In promotion of National Vascular Awareness Month in September, SVS distributed public service announcements (PSA) to major television and radio stations throughout the country. The 30-second PSAs feature 50 SVS members from large metropolitan areas. The message tells people that AAA can be treated, and if they are diagnosed with AAA they should see a vascular surgeon. This campaign was made possible by Platinum sponsor, Cook Medical. The campaign provides valuable information to the public about their vascular health by raising awareness about AAA, and it offers SVS the opportunity to deliver a unified message about the importance of seeing a vascular surgeon. Cook Medical provided additional awareness building materials to participants.
