The UW Medicine Regional Vascular Center provides comprehensive services for patients with circulatory problems and their referring healthcare providers throughout a five-state region: Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana and Idaho (WWAMI). Our vascular experts in arterial, venous, and lymphatic disease work with radiology and cardiology specialists to determine the appropriate diagnostic imaging and medical or surgical treatment options. As a regional resource, we provide care that is not available in smaller communities.
