ASDIN 2026
Posted By Jeffrey Hoggard, Tuesday, March 3, 2026

To ASDIN Officers, Councilors, the Membership and Mary Lea and staff:

I want to express my sincere thanks for the Lifetime Achievement Award given to me at ASDIN 2026 annual meeting in Orlando last weekend.  Bharvi Oza-Gajera offered me the chance to speak at the podium but I declined out of respect for keeping the meeting on time; I hope the program chairs appreciate this consideration.    

Please indulge me  now to let you know that this award is greatly appreciated at my retirement. ASDIN is a wonderful community of professionals dedicated to the “lifeline” of our patients. This award is a high honor for me.

I remain hopeful that  the current  low numbers of new nephrologists are just a cycle and that we continue to encourage  and inspire the young and bright future talent that our specialty is rewarding in many ways.

Godspeed ASDIN.

Jeffrey Hoggard MD

Dear Dr. Hoggard,

Congratulations on this truly well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award. Your dedication to advancing dialysis access and your commitment to the “lifeline” of our patients have inspired many in our field. This was my second time participating in the annual meeting of the since last year. I traveled overseas to attend, exchange knowledge, and learn best practices, with the goal of bringing these experiences back to my country to train fellows and colleagues. In doing so, I hope to carry forward the same spirit of mentorship, excellence, and patient-centered care that you have exemplified throughout your remarkable career.

With great respect and best wishes in your retirement.

I would also like to recognize and celebrate Dr. Hoggard on his well-deserved award and retirement. Throughout his career, he has made remarkable contributions to the field of dialysis access and has positively impacted the lives of countless patients and healthcare professionals.

I have personally learned so much from him through his outstanding presentations at many meetings. He consistently encouraged us to think outside the box and to always focus on improving care and outcomes for our patients.

His dedication, expertise, and commitment to advancing vascular access care have helped shape better outcomes for so many people living with kidney disease.

Thank you, Dr. Hoggard, for your years of service, innovation, mentorship, and compassion. Wishing you a wonderful and fulfilling retirement—you have truly left a lasting legacy.
