ACE Announces New Board Members: Drs. Cigarroa & Cowley
Accreditation for Cardiovascular Excellence is ecstatic to announce our new board members: Joaquin Cigarroa, MD, FSCAI of the Oregon Health & Science University and Michael Cowley, MD, FSCAI of Virginia Commonwealth University.

Both Drs. Cigarroa and Cowley have been involved with ACE as reviewers and both have demonstrated outstanding commitment to the field and to quality improvement in cardiac care.
Here's what our Chief Medical Officer, Bonnie Weiner, MD, MSEC, MBA had to say about these outstanding doctors:

"Dr. Cowley was an investigator in the original NHLBI PTCA Registry, was one of ACE's earliest reviewers and had singificant input into the ACE PCI standards," said ACE Chief Medical Officer Bonnie Weiner, MD, MSEC, MBA of Cowley's contribution to ACE. "Drs. Cigarroa and Cowley are both highly experienced cardiologists with long histories of commitment to quality," said Dr. Weiner. "Their academic careers have always upheld the need for data to demonstrate quality improvement and their clinical activities have focused on optimizing patient care and outcomes."

New Board members to steer structural heart quality standards
The expertise and experience of Drs. Cigarroa and Cowley will be invaluable as we develop quality review and accreditation for structural heart disease procedures, about which we hope to share more news in the coming months!

If you'd like to pass along a message to the ACE Board and our new Board members, feel free to reply to this email—I'll make sure they get your well wishes.
