NCVH is founded by Dr. Craig M. Walker, interventional cardiologist, president and founder of Cardiovascular Institute of the South. “We have all experienced tremendous challenges over the past two years. Many patients canceled or delayed procedures for fear of COVID, and our hospitals shut down "elective" procedures when many patients faced severe life-threatening conditions,” he said. “This year’s conference will focus on the resources that we as healthcare professionals can bring to the table to fill these gaps and provide positive outcomes for patients.”
