Dr. Bo Walpole Elected ACC Treasurer

By

Gainesville cardiologist Dr. Howard (Bo) Walpole was elected to serve as Treasurer of the Board of Trustees from 2018-21. Bo follows Atlanta surgeon Dr. Robert Guyton who will be finishing his three year term this year.

Interestingly, Gainesville native Dr. Michael Valentine, who now practices in Virginia, will serve as ACC President in 2018-19.

Thanks to Dr. Guyton for his service and congratulations to Dr. Walpole on his election. Our Chapter is well-represented at the National level.

Call for Nominations for the Lifetime Achievement Award

By

We are now calling for nominations for the 2017 Lifetime Achievement Award
to be presented at our annual meeting at the Ritz Carlton Lodge at Lake Oconee, November 17-19 2017.

This award honors an adult or pediatric cardiologist or cardiovascular surgeon that has made significant contributions to medicine through patient care, medical education,
research or community service as a member of the Georgia Chapter of the American College of Cardiology, and whose lifetime of service deserves special recognition.

If you would like to nominate someone, please send your nomination directly to Robert Vincent, MD, FACC, Chair, Awards Committee, vincentr@kidsheart.com, or by fax to 770.271.0634. Please explain the basis for your nomination and why you think the person is worthy of this coveted award.

Our committee will then prioritize the nominees and present them to the Chapter’s Council for selection.

The deadline for receipt of nominations for the award is April 3.
