HeArtwarming Gala success
for heart and vascular
excellence
ON S E P T EMBE R 2 1 ,
500 HeArts of Clark County Gala guests dressed up;
enjoyed great art, food, and wine; and gave generously from their hearts,
exceeding the PeaceHealth Southwest Foundation’s fundraising goal and
raising $522,800!
“It was a truly heartwarming event,” said Connie Kearney, HeArts of
Clark County Chair. “It was exciting to see the community come together to
generously support furthered excellence in heart and vascular care.”
Funds raised through this endeavor will help build the new Heart &
Vascular Surgical Theater which will allow cardiac and vascular specialists
to move quickly from catheter-based procedures to open-surgery procedures
when necessary.
“During very complicated cases, it’s wonderful to have the opportunity to
switch from a percutaneous, or less invasive procedure, to an open procedure—
something that can be done in a true surgical environment,” said Shaun Harper,
MD, Medical Director of PeaceHealth Southwest’s Heart & Vascular Center.
“We extend deep gratitude to our sponsors, volunteers, Gala guests, and
donors,” said Foundation Director Carol Van Natta. “Our community will
have continued access to the best in heart and vascular care because of their
generosity and commitment.”
The new surgical theater will be completed next year inside the Heart &
Vascular Center at PeaceHealth Southwest.
