Last September, Baystate Health Foundation celebrated with Legacy and Endowment donors, a gathering of like-minded individuals who believe in ensuring exceptional care for generations to come.

Dr. David Bull, Vice President and Medical Director of the Heart & Vascular Program and Chief of the Division of Cardiology, offered an energizing look at where cardiovascular care is headed and how Baystate Health is preparing for the future as one of the top cardiovascular programs in the country. Highlights include:

Earlier, targeted prevention leading to fewer heart attacks, strokes, and emergencies, allowing more patients to live longer, healthier lives.

  • An expansion of minimally invasive procedures, resulting in faster recovery times and even stronger patient–physician connections.
  • Breakthrough innovations that utilize wearable technology and artificial intelligence to guide treatment, along with advances in the next generation of mechanical circulatory support such as ventricular pumps and artificial hearts.
  • Being at the forefront of research, technology, and innovation in heart and vascular care is just one example of how Baystate Health continues to advance medicine in ways that strengthen every area of patient care. These ongoing improvements ensure that people across Western Massachusetts will continue to receive quality, compassionate, and accessible care close to home.
