“For the past half century, the Texas Medical Center has been the center of cardiovascular treatment, innovation and education for the world led by pioneering mentors such as Drs. Debakey and Cooley. At McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston, we strive to carry on that spirit of innovation through continuous research, education, and delivering unmatched, patient-centered, quality cardiovascular care. In partnership with Memorial Hermann Health System, we’re pushing the boundaries of what is known through discovery of the unknown, increasing overall awareness by sharing what we’ve learned through the education of our global community. Delivering such industry-changing care will be accomplished by placing our focus on each individual patient, one patient at a time.” — Anthony L. Estrera, MD, professor and chair ad interim of the Department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery at McGovern Medical School at UTHealth Houston and Hazim J. Safi, M.D., Distinguished Chair in Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery.
