To transform cardiovascular care and improve heart health for all
A world where science, knowledge and innovation optimize patient care and outcomes
Our Mission and Vision are grounded in our core values: patient-centeredness; teamwork and collaboration; and professionalism, excellence, and equity.
The College’s Strategic Plan is guided by four pillars:
In 1949, 13 cardiologists led by Franz Groedel, MD, MACC and Bruno Kisch, MD, MACC, founded the ACC, creating a professional home for cardiovascular clinicians. The College has since evolved into a global cardiovascular leader, uniting more than 56,000 members spanning the entire cardiovascular care team.
Incorporating unique perspectives shapes a more comprehensive, inclusive, and forward-thinking future for the cardiovascular community.
