When Dr. Appell spoke at the New York City meeting of the Vascular Access Society of the Americas at the Veith Symposium on November 14, 2007, he was presented with a plaque signed by president A. Frederick Schild, M.D. and second vice president Larry A. Scher, M.D. It stated: "Honorary Membership is bestowed upon Kenneth C. Appell, M.D. for his pioneering efforts and landmark development as the surgeon who performed the first arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis access over forty years ago. His contributions have immeasurably benefitted countless patients undergoing treatment for end-stage renal disease."
