Introducing Loop – A New Way to Connect with the Georgia ACC Community

By

Dear Chapter Members,

We are excited to introduce Loop, a powerful mobile and web communication platform designed for members of the Georgia Chapter of the American College of Cardiology. Developed in collaboration with Clinical Softworks, the Loop app is set to transform the way we engage, collaborate, and share vital information across our statewide network.

Loop provides a streamlined and interactive way for you to stay connected with fellow members, access timely updates, participate in discussions, and stay informed about chapter events, clinical advancements, and industry news. Whether you’re looking to collaborate on research, share best practices, or stay engaged with chapter initiatives, Loop will serve as your go-to resource.

As we launch this initiative, we invite you to explore Loop and take advantage of its many features. In the coming weeks, you will receive instructions on how to access the platform and optimize your experience. Please look out for a “Loop Invite” email from Clinical Softworks that provides an invite to the Chapter portal within Loop. This may end up in your spam or junk email folder.

We are confident that Loop will enhance our ability to connect and advance cardiovascular care across Georgia. Your participation is key to making this platform a valuable asset for our community.

Should you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Best regards,

Amar Patel, MD
