It has been a very long time since we have seen eachother in person, and for some it feels like our world and our work has been at a standstill. Although during this time we have been fortunate to have had high level collaboration with you and international experts virtually, we feel it’s important that our next meeting be in person.

Join us April 29 & 30th, 2022 in the beautiful city of Montreal!

The theme of this meeting is ‘Back to the Future’💫 and as always we have an amazing lineup of speakers that will enhance your knowledge in Phlebology.

We look forward to being together in the same place to have interactions that virtual meetings cannot deliver. We hope to see you there and help us make this the best Congress ever!

In memoriam: Dr Fernand Dagenais (1926-2020)
Doctor Fernand Dagenais passed away on February 1st, 2020, aged 93 after having had a happy life. He was born in Montreal in 1926 in a middle class family. He went to college and completed his “cours classique”.
He was then admitted to medical school at Université de Montréal and completed his curriculum in general practice in 1954. He then established himself on the south shore of Montreal where he practiced as a family physician together with an affiliation at Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc hospital in Montreal. Throughout those years, his wife, after 8 pregnancies , learned she was suffering from severe CVI.
This brought him to be interested in phlebology, and in 1969, he began a new career in that field, therefore joining Dr. Gilles Cloutier, founder of the CSP, and other pioneers in our field. Those were difficult times as imaging was merely unavailable. So, he opened his practice on boul. Saint-Joseph in Montreal, next door to Dr. Cloutier’s office. Since there were very few physicians in that field, his practice kept very busy, injecting GSV blindly(!)but relieving many patients from symptoms of CVI. He contributed to the 1972 UIP convention Held in Montreal under Dr. Michel Zummo’s presidency by receiving colleges, mostly from the US, as observers. My father introduced me to the practice of phlebology and I am very thankful to him for having had the opportunity to learn and work in that great field of Medicine since 1990.
Finally, after a great career, he retired in 1991, after which he spent most of his time travelling and enjoying his country house in Sutton Eastern townships, Quebec.
He will be remembered forever.
===
Le Docteur Fernand Dagenais est décédé le 1er février dernier à l’âge de 93 ans après une longue et belle vie.
Né à Montréal dans une famille de la classe moyenne, il complète d’abord son cours classique au Collège Sainte-Marie à Montréal, pour ensuite faire son entrée à la faculté de médecine de l'Université de Montréal, où il complètera sa formation en médecine générale en 1954.
Il s’installera ensuite à Boucherville sur la Rive-Sud de Montréal où il ouvrira son cabinet.
Ainsi, il exercera comme médecin de campagne, effectuant, entre autres, des accouchements à domicile.
Il fut également affilié à l'hôpital Sainte-Jeanne-d’Arc à Montréal pendant quelques années. Pendant ces années, sa femme, ayant eu 8 grossesses, souffrait d’IVC sévère.
C’est une des raisons qu’ils l’ont amené à la pratique de la Phlébologie en 1969, rejoignant ainsi le docteur Gilles Cloutier, fondateur de la SCP.
D’ailleurs, il ouvrit son cabinet à la porte voisine de celui-ci sur le Boul. Saint-Joseph à Montréal. Les phlébologues étant très peu nombreux à cette époque, il eut une pratique très occupée, entre autres à injecter des GVS à l’aveugle ! mais aussi à soulager de nombreux patients des symptômes de l’IVC.
