A Personal Message from Dr. Enrico Ascher, Executive Director

The executive council of the Frank J. Veith International Society (FJVIS) has been closely monitoring all developments as it relates to the COVID-19 outbreak in the New York City region.  With the recent mandate made by President Donald J. Trump, restricting travel from European countries into the United States, and because we have been in close contact with local, state and government officials, a decision has been made to cancel the May 1 - 2, 2020 FJVIS annual meeting until further notice.  This was a difficult decision to make but one that we believe is in the best interest of our attendees.

If you have made a hotel and/or air travel arrangements to attend the meeting, it is suggested that you cancel before you incur any hotel or other travel penalties.  The FJVIS will continue to keep in contact with the Vascular community as it relates to rescheduling the meeting. Rest assured the FJVIS will be prominently visible at upcoming meetings happening in the fall of 2020.

Thank you for your understanding. Keep safe!

Respectfully,

Enrico Ascher, MD
