Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute

WHAT’S NEW

Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute is proud to welcome Joseph T. McGinn, M.D., as Chief of Cardiac Surgery. Dr. McGinn is an expert in the assessment and surgical treatment of patients with coronary artery, aortic and valvular disease. He is particularly renowned in minimally invasive coronary artery bypass graft surgery, where the surgical method he developed is known internationally as the “McGinn method.” The leadership of Dr. McGinn in cardiac surgery for the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute brings a proven leader who has established very strong teams of extraordinary surgical and clinical expertise to provide the expert and multidisciplinary care that serve as foundation hallmarks for Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute.

FUNDRAISING AT GLANCE

Physicians are an important part of successful philanthropy. Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute’s Javier Jimenez, M.D., the founder of the Advanced Heart Failure & Pulmonary Hypertension Program at South Miami Hospital, has been conducting research in several areas from understanding the genetic makeup of cardiomyopathy, exploring the physiology of cardiac and pulmonary circulation, to evaluating, managing and continuing care for patients with these complicated conditions. Innovation through research is vital in the battle against heart disease and Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute utilizes philanthropic support to support these efforts and create new and better treatments for these devastating diseases helping to decrease symptoms and help patients live a long, active and enjoyable life.

DID YOU KNOW?

With current changes in the healthcare environment, discovery and breakthroughs in cardiovascular care will not occur without the generosity of donors to fund vitally important research. For this reason, Baptist Health Foundation launched the Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute Vision for Discovery and Innovation campaign at the end of 2017. The Discovery and Innovation campaign is presently ongoing and represents the Institute’s determination to embark on research trials focused on new treatments, devices or methods that offer opportunities to improve patient outcomes. So far, the campaign has raised more than $10 million of its $20 million fundraising goal. The Institute strives to advance the care and practice of medicine through research and discovery so that no one in South Florida will need to travel far for the most advanced treatments.
