The Vascular Anomalies Experience Journal
The Vascular Anomalies Experience Journal is a collection of stories, videos, and personal experiences from patients, families and providers describing life with a vascular anomaly. The Journal represents the vascular anomalies community's “collective wisdom,” and touches on all aspects of what it means to have a vascular anomaly. We invite you to visit and explore the Experience Journal.
If you’re interested in sharing your or your family’s story, visit the Experience Journal submission page.
