Donor Impact

WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE CAN HAVE A REAL IMPACT ON PATIENT LIVES THROUGH INNOVATION IN VASCULAR TREATMENT.

Support from people like you allows the JI to conduct more advanced catheter research and design, creating otherwise unavailable technology innovation in the treatment of vascular disease and conducting critical clinical education to ensure better outcomes for millions of people affected by these conditions. As an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we rely on the generosity of donor and foundations to pioneer a better way to develop life-saving advances in vascular medicine. Donate today to help us improve vascular disease treatment for our community and the world

Why Our Donors Are So Important

  • To find better ways of treating and preventing heart attacks and stroke, the JI needs continued support from the WNY community and beyond. The JI is the only place in the world that serves as an independently operated nonprofit, ISO-certified medical innovation center with an on-site FDA resource situated between a state-of-the-art hospital and a world-class research facility. No other innovation center has expert clinicians, engineers, and researchers immediately available. 
  • Just under 500,000 people in Erie county alone will suffer from cardiovascular disease annually and we need innovative treatment and tools to protect their lives, independence, and freedom. 
  • The JI wants to launch a new era in medical advancement and education through community partnerships by accelerating the development of novel medical technologies and providing educational opportunities for medical professionals around the globe and our Buffalo neighbors – effectively ushering in the future of medicine together.
