Atlanta gets nation's first heart valve center
ATLANTA - The Piedmont Heart Institute says it has received a $20 million grant from the Marcus Foundation to establish the nation's first heart valve reference center at Atlanta's Piedmont Hospital.
"Atlanta is the perfect place for this unique center and Piedmont Heart Institute is the organization that will make it happen," said Bernie Marcus, philanthropist and one of Atlanta's biggest ambassadors. "We have an international airport, a great hospitality industry and excellent medical expertise. My goal is to enhance the latter and provide our experts with new tools and capabilities needed to help more people across the country."
