Our commitment to quality is best illustrated by our participation in the Vascular Quality Initiative (VQI). VQI is a registry of vascular surgery data that allows us to benchmark against other providers. All Novant Health vascular clinics in the Triad and Greater Charlotte region participate in the VQI to improve the safety and efficacy of the vascular care provided.
