Partner Spotlight

This issue, we are pleased to focus the spotlight on the American College of Cardiology (ACC). With over 16,000 members, the ACC represents the majority of board certified U.S. cardiovascular physicians. The majority of ACC members spend their professional time providing direct patient care and consultation, as well as performing a wide range of procedures. The ACC was established in 1949 and its mission is to advocate for quality cardiovascular care—through education, research promotion, development and application of standards and guidelines—and to influence health care policy. ACC is represented on the VDF Board of Directors by Dr. Mark A. Creager.
