John Gordon Harold, MD, MACC, ACC past president and editor-in-chief of Cardiology – ACC's flagship member magazine – has been selected to participate in the Joint Civilian Orientation Conference (JCOC) hosted by the secretary of defense. The JCOC program is the oldest and most prestigious public outreach program in the Department of Defense. "I thank and honor all who have served in armed services, including those serving in the Veteran's Administration system," Harold said. "It's important that we keep in mind that the U.S. health care system as a whole – including all cardiovascular clinicians and the ACC as an organization – shares the responsibility, and honor, of providing high-quality care for our veterans and those providing active military service."
