The SBH Foundation is planning to revisit last year’s Rose Soiree in support of the CSP (this June). Last year the funds were raised in support of the purchase of a new portable echo machine. The Foundation asked me to solicit suggestions from the CSP community for this year’s fundraising project. They are looking for us to identify equipment needs with a price tag in the ~$100k-200k range. Please let me know your ideas asap.
CSP in the News
It was a pretty busy week for coverage of CSP.
On Monday, an article on Women’s Heart Health research by CSP/ICS scientists (Todd Duhamel, Davinder Jassal and me) was highlighted in the Free Press. The PDF is attached.
Two of our Cardiology residents were interviewed on CTV News during our community talks at Wellness Institute. Phyllis Sin (PGY-4) was interviewed on Intermittent Fasting and Ketogenic Diet.
