We learned February 2018 that after an extensive application process and on-site visit and evaluation, the Pulmonary Hypertension Review Committee has granted UVA’s program a four year accreditation! Particularly noted by our two clinical surveyors was evidence of:
- A Cohesive team comprised of dedicated healthcare professionals with cardiac and pulmonary expertise.
- An enthusiastic multidisciplinary team and good facilities with room for growth.
- Strong institutional support very evident at site visit.
- Clear goal to continue increasing opportunities for collaboration in education and research.
- Dedicated Genetics and Palliative Care connections .
There are many to thank for their hard work establishing an accredited program to best serve the needs of these very complex patients. Participants in the accreditation process included:
- Jamie Kennedy MD
- Andrew Mihalek MD
- Nancy Johnson RN
- Katelyn Hanson NP
- Sula Mazimba MD
- Marian Lawson RN
- Brian Annex MD
- Mitch Rosner MD
- Richard Shannon MD
