Support the Division of Cardiology
Cardiology Fund for Excellence
A gift to the Cardiology Fund for Excellence helps us provide leading-edge heart health for the citizens of North Carolina. The Fund for Excellence promotes building new clinical services, providing seed funding for cutting-edge research projects, enhancement of training programs for cardiology fellows, and supporting the careers of the most promising junior faculty members.
UNC Structural Heart Program Fund
The Structural Heart Program has treated over 100 patients since its establishment in 2014. The minimally invasive procedural treatments enabled by this program provide a valuable and life-saving alternative to open-heart surgery. Gifts to this fund will support the mission of advancing clinical care, training current and future cardiologists, and conducting innovative research.
Women’s Heart Program
Commitment to women and the reduction of their risk for cardiovascular disease is a priority of the UNC Division of Cardiology. This program serves as a source of health education, prevention, and treatment of the number one killer of women of North Carolina.
