2009 Annual Report

On behalf of The University of Tennessee Medical Center Heart Lung Vascular Institute, we are pleased to share the 2009 Annual Report. The Heart Lung Vascular Institute was established in 2000 to help meet the increasing need for cardiovascular and lung disease care. Heart disease, stroke and pulmonary disease are among the leading causes of death in the United States. In addition, Tennessee is one of the five worst states for smoking, obesity, and high blood pressure—all of which contribute to the development of heart, lung and vascular disease. The goals of the Heart Lung Vascular Institute are to attain excellence in patient care, preventive medicine, rehabilitation services, research and education.
