As director of the Section of Cardiology at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, I am privileged to have the opportunity to make you aware of issues and advances in the field of cardiology and medicine in general. In the coming months I will periodically be writing this newsletter on various subjects including what is new in cardiology, what is new and exciting here at Rush, as well as featuring  many of my colleagues to inform you on recent advances in their particular fields of expertise. I hope you will find this both interesting and helpful in managing your health and the health of your loved ones.

To earn chest pain center accreditation by the Society of Chest Pain Centers, hospitals must meet or exceed a wide set of stringent criteria and demonstrate commitment to reducing the time it takes to receive treatment, and increase the accuracy and effectiveness of treatment in a coordinated process that can save lives.
