Welcome to the ACC Cardiovascular Team, Puerto Rico Chapter
As an essential piece in providing cardiovascular care and support, we encourage you to be part of the ACC-PR Cardiovascular Team. We want you to contribute, disseminate, advocate and actively collaborate as part of the team to improve and promote cardiovascular health in Puerto Rico.
Here the cardiovascular healthcare provider finds a place to participate in forums of interest, access critical information on patient health and well-being, and stay current on guidelines, committees and working groups of the chapter.
“Learning to do, doing to earn, earning to live, and living to serve.”
