President's Messagedecember 2020At this time of year it is customary to wish everyone a happy holiday and new year. For 2020 it is no different - but I can’t begin to explain how sincere my wish is for your families and you to have a season that is festive and safe as we fight this pandemic. I hope that despite whatever you are going through, you can take a moment of reflection of all that has been and all that will be. I wish for all of us to come out on the other end of this with more wisdom, compassion and gratitude. I truly appreciate all you do to improve the cardiovascular health of patients across the state of Florida.
