Vision & Mission
The AVLS’ mission is simple, but powerful: to advance venous and lymphatic care.
Our vision is to support members, particularly private practitioners, through education, knowledge sharing, and practice management; to advocate for excellence in vein and lymphatic care; and to advance research in these fields.
The AVLS Board of Directors approved a 2024-2028 Strategic Plan to provide guidance and direction for the organization. View the Complete Strategic Plan.

Fellowship, Innovation, Integrity, and Science.
