Campaign for Patient Access. Click here to see what you can do!   The Colorado Chapter, American College of Cardiology, was formed to contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases and to ensure optimal quality of care for individuals with such diseases. In carrying out these purposes, the Chapter shall function, in consultation with the leadership of the College, as a source of advice to local and state governmental and professional organizations concerning issues related to cardiovascular disease. The Chapter shall, in the interests of patients, physicians, and the public in general, maintain a high level of social consciousness and involvement with socioeconomic factors and access to the highest possible quality of cardiovascular health care.   Congratulations to Dr. Joseph Kay who will be presented with the Volunteer Clinician of the Year award on August 13th!
