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 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.
