Michael is an Associate Professor of Medicine, Co-director, Center for Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care at SSM Health Saint Louis University Hospital (C4)
“Saint Louis University Hospital has a robust history of innovation and leadership when it comes to cardiovascular care. From having the first cardiac catheterization lab, to performing the first bypass surgeries and heart transplant, to utilizing advanced catheter ventricular support in the catheterization lab – this hospital has developed and delivered cutting edge heart care for decades.”
“The impact that any one physician can make on patients is hard to measure. Indirectly, I have a role in teaching, training, and supervising all of the physicians that interact with our cardiac patients every day. We should make sure that every patient is treated as an important individual – deserving a great deal of undivided attention. The best reference to understand what this really means is to ask, ‘how would we want our family member looked after?’ If we can take care of every patient the way we would want our family cared for, we will ultimately be successful in making a great impact on their recovery and overall health.”
