MHIF Today:
2021 was a strong year, despite the pandemic. In fact, we activated more studies in 2021 than that we have in any other year… for the second consecutive year! Our research also continues to cross all practice areas of cardiovascular medicine and care.
Thanks to support from our donors, patients, physicians, staff and community, look what we accomplished in 2021:
To kick off our exciting 40-year anniversary, we want to remind you of how this all began. Dr. Robert Van Tassel is one of the founding physicians of MHIF and he has an important mantra that inspires our team to strive, every day, to fulfill our vision of creating a world without heart and vascular disease.
“You can’t think big enough.”
Robert Van Tassel, MD, Cardiologist and MHIF Founding Physician
