THE EXPERTS AGREe:
We're making a difference
Several of the leading cardiovascular experts in the country serve on our Advisory Board. Here's what a few of them have to say...
Dr. Ashish Shah
Surgical Director of Heart Transplant
and Mechanical Support at Vanderbilt University Medical Center
"One of the things about this Foundation, and what’s inspiring about what the Beretta family has done, is to really address something that all of us who are clinicians recognize but really feel helpless to do something about."
Dr. Michael Mathier
Director of the Heart failure and Pulmonary Hypertension program at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center
"As medical professionals, we try to ensure that our patients are given the best medical care possible. To know that the JBF is there to care for our patients and their families practical needs outside of the hospital is invaluable to both the patient, and our staff."
