Your gift makes a difference

Our ability to offer exceptional care is enhanced by support from patients and their families, alumni, and other friends of the Department. Our contributors have chosen to lend a hand by making charitable gifts that will help ensure our services can reach even more patients in need.

Generous donations help the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery maintain a tradition of world-class patient care and clinical advances by funding research, education, and special programs and projects.

Assisted by gifts from private contributors, we’ve been able to:

1. Offer continuing-education opportunities for faculty, residents, fellows, nurses, and other support staff to continually enhance patient care.

2. Use advanced technology to perform life-saving and life-enhancing surgeries more effectively and efficiently, including minimally invasive techniques like robotic surgery.

3. Pursuing research to develop new surgical techniques and educational advancements.

We’re proud of our record of success with the thousands of patients we treat each year. With your help, we can do even more to help surgery patients. Here are a few ways we can enhance our services with the help of private support:
