Our extended DFW family is why we’re so committed to the AHA’s 2009-2010 Tim Wallace strategic goal to improve U.S. cardiovascular health by 20% while reducing cardiovascular 2008 Lauren & Lance Byrd deaths 20% by 2020. With this in mind, we recently attended the 2015 AHA’s Scientific Sessions (AHA’s annual meeting of more than 18,000 cardiologists 2007 Erin & Scott Olson and researchers from across the country). We were amazed and inspired to learn that surgeons are now using 3-D printers to print patient’s hearts so they can practice on a perfect replica of the 2006 Mary Humphreys Gill & John Gill, M.D. patient’s heart prior to the actual surgery. This is just one example of how your generous Côtes du Coeur contributions fund ground-breaking research that leads directly to 2005 Linda Paulk, Pat & Jim Parker innovative programs and educational tools that help prevent and one day eradicate heart disease entirely. 2004 Toni Brinker Pickens, Don Hultgren, Tonight is the silver anniversary of the most prestigious and successful American Heart Association gala in the nation.
