employees, physicians, volunteers and most importantly, on
behalf of our patients and community, I thank all those who
invested in the health of the community by attending and con-

generous support of our heart center expansion initiative gives
the public the opportunity to not only advance local cardiac
care, but to also literally save lives.”
