Support Our Mission

The Cardiology Fund for Excellence helps the UNC Division of Cardiology advance its strategic objectives by providing a source of unrestricted capital that can be deployed to develop new clinical services, provide seed funding for cutting-edge research projects, enhance the training programs for cardiology fellows and/or support the careers of the most promising junior faculty members.

Your gift to the Cardiology Fund for Excellence will help enhance the clinical care provided by the faculty in the Division of Cardiology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. These cardiologists are committed to the highest standards of excellence in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases. They are a multidisciplinary health care team offering state-of-the-art treatment and care to people of North Carolina and to those throughout the Southeast. Faculty members care for thousands of patients who come from all over North Carolina and from out of state. The Division offers a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services and has one of the largest cardiac rehabilitation programs in the state.

Your gift to the Cardiology Fund for Excellence will help train the next generation of cardiologists. The training programs in Cardiovascular Medicine, Interventional Cardiology, Electrophysiology, Advanced Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplantation, Cardiovascular Research and Structural Heart Disease includes 29 cardiology fellows making it one of the largest cardiovascular training programs in the Southeast. Fellows who have graduated from the UNC program are leaders in North Carolina, throughout the country and in academic cardiology.

Lastly, your gift to the Cardiology Fund for Excellence will also enhance cardiovascular research at UNC. The goal of our research is to help increase the understanding of cardiovascular disease and through this knowledge develop new treatments to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with heart and vascular disease.
