Rick Matthews: A Milestone in DVT Treatment and Patient Access from Vein and Vascular Institute and NBCA
Rick Matthews, Senior Vascular Consultant at Argon Medical Devices, Inc., reposted from National Blood Clot Alliance on LinkedIn:
”As someone who has worked closely in vascular and clot management, I think this is a major milestone.
Many DVT patients present first in community settings, so building systems that support rapid diagnosis, thoughtful intervention, and long-term follow-up is incredibly important.
Congratulations to Vein and Vascular Institute and NBCA for helping raise the standard of care and expand access to high-quality DVT treatment.”
Quoting National Blood Clot Alliance‘s post:
”A major step forward in expanding access to high-quality blood clot care.
We’re proud to announce that Vein and Vascular Institute has been named the nation’s first National Blood Clot Alliance Community DVT Excellence Center — setting a new standard for patient-centered, evidence-based care in community settings.
Why this matters:
Patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) often first seek care outside of hospital systems.
Ensuring these settings are equipped to deliver timely diagnosis, coordinated treatment, and appropriate follow-up is critical to improving outcomes and preventing complications.
This designation reflects a strong commitment to:
- Rapid evaluation and diagnosis
- Evidence-based treatment
- Coordinated, patient-centered care
- Ongoing education and awareness
This milestone marks the expansion of NBCA’s national network of excellence — bringing high-quality blood clot care closer to where patients are.
