Center in November. He succeeds Dr. Devraj Sukul as the new associate director of BMC2 PCI. Dr. Cantey brings expertise in improving cardiovascular patient outcomes and a passion for working in the high-risk coronary disease and shock populations. Dr. Sukul will join our colleagues at Corewell Health West in Grand Rapids to focus on structural heart care. We wish him the best as he starts this new chapter in his career.
Throughout the fall, we learned and shared at various in-person and virtual meetings. We acknowledge the time this takes you away from your patients, families, and friends and value your commitment to continued learning so we can best serve our patients.
Our new vascular surgery disparities dashboard is now live on bmc2.org. The dashboard allows you to benchmark your site’s data compared to the collaborative and helps identify areas of improvement. We are eager to support you as you use this tool to take on new quality projects.
We look forward to you having the opportunity to get to know Mollie and Dr. Cantey in the coming months as we continue our shared dedication to improving cardiovascular patient care and outcomes for those across Michigan, the nation, and the world.
