In this thought-provoking episode of NCVH Conversations, Dr. Chadi Alraies sits down with Mary Yost, MBA — Co-Chair of NCVH and a leading voice in the economic and business dimensions of vascular medicine.
With a sharp focus on peripheral artery disease (PAD), Mary discusses the often-overlooked financial burden this condition places on patients, healthcare systems, and society at large. She highlights the critical need for cost-effective care models, early diagnosis, and health policy reform to mitigate the long-term impact of PAD.
Through her expertise, Mary brings clarity to how clinical decisions intersect with economics — and why understanding both is essential for driving meaningful change.
Filmed at the NCHV 2025 Scientific Conference, this episode broadens the conversation beyond the clinical and into the real-world implications of vascular disease.
