Summa Health Cardiovascular Leadership Council

Our mission: The Cardiovascular Leadership Council provides an opportunity for its members to lend their expertise and support to establish the Heart and Vascular Institute as a center of excellence. Members will be asked to contribute their professional and business expertise and rely on their patient experiences to provide guidance that will help to direct the future of the Institute. Members will assist Summa Health Foundation with fundraising efforts in support of patient care, clinical research and innovation and medical education for future generations of physicians and scientists.
