The Health Care Innovation Member Section has four initial aims:

  • To become the professional home for cardiovascular specialists and other multidisciplinary team members interested in the field of health care innovation.
  • To serve as a resource for information and action regarding the latest in health care innovation.
  • To promote activities that will range from education and career development for professionals involved or interested in health care innovation, to assessment and guidance to the ACC regarding the latest advancements and developments in the field.
  • To promote value to the ACC and its members by advancing the ACC's mission and its strategic plan through the expertise of the Section's leadership and membership.

I look forward to working with you in the accomplishment of these goals.
