Excerpt from 2006 Heart and
Vascular Care Overview and Accomplishments brochure
"Cardiovascular circulation is a remarkable feat of engineering
and stamina. By pushing the flow of blood and oxygen through
the body, evey moment of every day, it nourishes a life.
UW Health's Heart and Vascular Care program takes its cue from
the circulatory system. As part of a world-class academic institution,
one half of our mission is to be a destination for advanced cardiovascular
care—a center where innovation and expertise converge to
heal the people of Wisconsin and beyond.
But, like the second phase of a heartbeat, the other half of
our mission is to push the flow of ideas, knowledge, and experience
out to the community. By sharing our advancements, we nourish
even more lives... for generations to come.
That's what we call the Wisconsin Idea. And at Wisconsin, circulation
is our life, innovation is in our blood, and our heart is beating
strong." |
