District of Columbia-based Children’s National Hospital is opening a research institute within its Heart and Lung Center thanks to philanthropic contributions of over $12 million.
The Heart Research Institute will focus its investigational efforts on earlier detection, better treatment and wellness support for children with heart conditions, according to a Feb. 26 hospital news release. The institute’s findings will be translated directly into clinical practices.
Yves d’Udekem, MD, PhD, chief of cardiac surgery at Children’s National, will serve as executive director of the new institute.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
