Presented by:
Joseph V. Messer, MD
Professor of Medicine & Senior Attending Physician,
Rush University Medical Center, and Member of Associates in Cardiology, Ltd. Chicago
Chicago has long played a leading role in
cardiovascular research, education and patient care.
Nearly a century ago, James B. Herrick, often
considered the father of modern cardiology, published
his landmark paper on coronary artery obstruction.
Shortly thereafter Herrick led the creation of the
Chicago Association for the Prevention and Relief of
Heart Disease, the forerunner of the Chicago Heart
Association. During the next 50 years, Chicago was
home to many historical research projects, perhaps
the most important being the Chicago Gas Study.
Beginning in the early 1970s, creation of the Chicago
Interinstitutional Cardiovascular Center ushered in a
period of unprecedented cooperation and collegiality
among Chicagos cardiovascular leaders. The rapid
development of cardiac transplantation in the 1980s
and a changing health care economic environment
led to a new period of change and consternation
within the cardiovascular community. This was
accentuated by the demise of The Chicago Heart
Association. Continued
reaction to the forces of managed health care,
subspecialization within cardiovascular medicine,
regulatory issues and the quest for market share
has created the current environment of competition
and concern.
Although outcomes are uncertain, a new environment
of change exists today. Restructuring is occurring
within the Chicago Cardiology Group, one of the
oldest organizations in the nation devoted to Fellow
education. There is an increasing consensus that
physicians and institutions must cooperate to restore
public trust in health care. To do so will require a
fundamental revision of health care economic
structures, and reorganizations within health care
education and the delivery of health care. The Chicago
cardiovascular community will play a leading role in
guiding these initiatives.
This program is
dedicated to the memory of Doctor Morris Fishbein,
the Society’s past president and an influential
physician and editor of modern American medicine.
This Annual Fishbein meeting has been made
possible by the generous support of the family of the
late Barbara Fishbein Friedell.
