The Saha Aortic Center was established after a $1 million gift from the Saha Foundation, according to a June 2 press release from the university. A previous gift from the foundation established the university’s Saha Cardiovascular Research Center. 

The new center will promote research and education to advance clinical care for aortic diseases. Alan Daugherty, PhD, chair of the department of physiology and director of the Saha Cardiovascular Research Center, will serve as its director. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
