ABSTRACT
Comprehensively managing vascular disease in the United States can seem overwhelming. Vascular surgery providers encounter daily stress-inducing challenges, including caring for sick patients who often, because of healthcare barriers, struggle with access to care, socioeconomic challenges, and a complex medical system. These individuals can present with advanced disease and comorbidities, and many have limited treatment options. Subsequently, it could seem as if the vascular surgeon's efforts have little opportunity to make a difference. This review describes a method to counter this sentiment through directed action, hope, and community building. Vascular surgeons are passionate about what they do and are built to fight healthcare disparities. This review also outlines the reasoning for attempting to create change and one approach to begin making a difference.
