Greeting!

The Puerto Rico Chapter of the American College of Cardiology is proud to invite you, your spouse and family to attend, participate and enjoy all the activities that have been organized for the Eighteenth Annual Convention to be held on May 25, 26, and 27 of 2007, at the Ritz-Carlton San Juan Hotel.

The Scientific Program entitled Advances in Cardiology 2007 presided by Dr. Luis Rodríguez Ospina, jointly with our Organizing Committee, have centered their efforts to present a program of excellence covering a varied range of the latest developments in the cardiology field. The educational sessions, in addition to the cardiologists, will be of great benefit to a large audience including Fellows in training, Internists, Family Physicians, Cardiovascular Nurses and other Health Care Professionals. We encourage you to register as soon as possible.

The PR Chapter of the ACC, this year, is honored in dedicating the Distinguished Citizen of the Year Award to Dr. José Eugenio López, who is a renowned and devoted cardiologist, recognized as the teacher of teachers by the medical community.

Once again the Convention is complemented by a Community Cardiovascular Symposium, Satellite Conferences, and this year, a new course for nurses specialized in cardiovascular medicine.

Between scientific sessions, participants will be able to visit the various booths and the College display showing the latest programs, products, and services, and most important, the application to become a member of the ACC.

I, personally, as well as the Organizing Committee, are looking forward with enthusiasm to sharing these activities with you and your family.

Cordially,

Jorge Ortega-Gil, MD, FACC
President and Governor Puerto Rico Chapter American College of Cardiology
