"I’m hoping that more medical providers are more aware of VEDS, because a lot of times when I go in to see any new specialist or any new doctors, I’m the one having to explain how serious VEDS is..."

Thank you to board member Gil Bashe for his leadership in uplifting the collective voice of the VEDS community. #VEDSActionMonth24 #VEDSAwareness #VEDS

Today, I engaged in a pressing discussion with The Marfan Foundation and StuffThatWorks leaders about #VEDS - a severe and life-threatening vascular rare condition. While subtype classifications for all EDS conditions may meet the needs of clinicians and researchers, the urgency and voices of patients are often overlooked. Unlike other #EDS subtypes, #VEDS poses a critical risk due to the delicate nature of blood vessels and organs, making it a ticking time bomb. Increasing awareness is key to enhancing first responder and ER care, ultimately saving lives!
