Chair
The Federal Cardiology Member Section and Leadership Council is the home for cardiac professionals working in the VA, Department of Defense or Public Health Service within the ACC, advocating for and advancing the priorities of interest to the community.
The opinions expressed in this member section are solely those of the authors and do not represent an endorsement by or the views of the Department of Defense, the Veteran's Administration, the Public Health Service, the Department of Health and Human Services, or the United State Government.
The mission of the Federal Cardiology Council, and the corresponding Federal Cardiology Section, is closely aligned to and supportive of the overall American College of Cardiology mission — to advocate for quality cardiovascular care through improvements in the processes of the federal system including knowledge delivery of leaner principles, collaborative opportunities, and elimination of redundancies.
Additionally, positive principles of the federal system should be highlighted to the Cardiology community at large to help influence health care policy on the national level. The Council and Section are dedicated to the cardiovascular care of the patient primarily seen at Department of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Public Health Service facilities.
