Our Priorities
Heart Care
Our community is growing and aging rapidly. We anticipate a 15% increase in the number of potential patients over the age of 45 by the year 2023. Our Heart Institute is a regional leader in advanced care for heart failure. It is our obligation to stay ahead of our community’s growing need.
The need for our heart expertise is accelerating.
Excellence Fund
The number of medical practitioners is trending downwards. It is predicted there will be anywhere from 21,100-55,200 too few primary care physicians nationwide, by 2032. These sobering numbers combined with projected 9% regional growth, means we need to actively and wisely recruit and retain the best and brightest medical talent.
Let’s bring the best hearts and minds into our community.
