The mission of the Kaufman Center is to bring together a team of experts from medicine, surgery, and basic science research to focus their attention on developing effective therapies for the treatment of heart failure. This well-defined group has integrated divergent skills and experiences to design, implement and publish advances made in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with heart failure.
The Section of Heart Failure and Cardiac Transplant Medicine is comprised of ten cardiologists and numerous professionals dedicated to advancing clinical and basic science and patient care.
The Kaufman Center is jointly operated within the Tomsich Family Department of Cardiovascular Medicine and Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery within the Miller Family Heart & Vascular Institute and has forged strong relationships with the Department of Biomedical Engineering, the Lerner Research Institute, the Multi-Organ Transplant Center and the Bakken Heart-Brain Institute.
The Kaufman Center for Heart Failure is synonymous with patient care, education, research and a healing environment, consistent with the four cornerstones of the Cleveland Clinic.
Because of the philanthropic support of George M. and Linda H. Kaufman, the Kaufman Center for Heart Failure was established in the Fall of 1997 with operations beginning January, 1998.
