7th Annual Heart and Vascular Summit

Please note that this is a 2 day event: Friday, September 30th, 2022 from 11-5 pm and Saturday, October 1st, 2022 from 7:30-12pm.

CoxHealth has been dedicated to saving and improving lives from heart disease for many decades. With personalized medical care, we can continue to improve the cardiovascular health of individuals and our community. Cardiovascular disease, with an estimated 17.9 million deaths, is the leading cause of death globally. The American Heart Association states that for 2019, when listed as the underlying cause of death, cardiovascular disease was accountable for 874,613 deaths in the United States (1, 2).

The CoxHealth Annual Heart and Vascular Summit delivers evolving evidence based principles for the best practice management of your cardiovascular patients. We bring together regional partners and engaged stakeholders to explore solutions for managing the rapid changes in healthcare with tips to help your practice achieve optimal success in the future. Join us as we examine current heart and vascular best practice recommendations, emerging technologies, and state of the art diagnostic and treatment modalities bridging the gap from Primary Care to Cardiovascular Specialty Care.

This conference is designed to meet the educational needs of Primary Care Providers, Interventional and General Cardiologists, Practice Managers, Nurses, Nurse Practitioners and others who care for patients with cardiovascular disease in an outpatient, hospital or clinical practice setting.
