Outreach & Global Impact

Philanthropic support empowers the Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart & Vascular Institute team to expand their reach by funding their participation in renowned conferences and gatherings. This presence elevates Hoag’s profile among the leading cardiovascular experts from around the world.

• Montalcino Aortic Consortium: Hoag’s aortic team was invited to participate in this consortium which provided invaluable information and exposure for our aortic professionals. The Montalcino Aortic Consortium is a grouping of prominent clinical, basic, and translational investigators from medical centers around the world committed to diagnosing and managing aortic disorders and discovering their genetic causes and modifiers.

• Houston Aortic Symposium: In March 2022, Hoag sent a group of 10 cardiac and vascular surgeons, aortic nurse practitioners, nurses, surgical techs, and a genetic counselor to the Houston Aortic Symposium in Texas. There, they participated in discussing important topics, including the diagnosis and treatment paradigms for aortic and structural heart diseases.

• Science in Paris (The Marfan Foundation): Hoag offers an integrated, best-inclass team treating Marfan syndrome and related connective tissue conditions. By participating in The Marfan Foundation’s meeting, Science in Paris, from August 29–September 1, 2022, Hoag’s team collaborated with national and international researchers and clinicians focused on genetic aortic and vascular conditions, aiming to enhance care for patients and families.
