Support Our Work

The Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery is highly committed to providing top-notch individualized service to patients with diseases of the heart, aorta, lungs, and esophagus. We strive to offer comprehensive and longitudinal care toward our patients for them to have the best possible outcomes. We are able to do so through continued research and development of cutting-edge technologies and treatment approaches. Our dedication to clinical practice and research is matched only by our emphasis on mentoring and training the next generation of aspiring cardiothoracic residents, fellows, and junior faculty investigators.

Your much appreciated philanthropic support allows the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery opportunities for expanded growth and success. With your help we can continue to pursue our goals of bringing novel and revolutionary treatments from the research bench to the patient’s bedside. The Department is grateful for its supporters, who are co-visionaries in seeking the best possible treatment outcomes.
