Lown Cardiovascular Research Foundation

The Lown Cardiovascular Foundation has been a world leader in promoting heart health for more than 30 years. Through research, training, and global outreach, we promote a patient-centered, cost-effective model of cardiovascular care that advocates prevention over costly, invasive treatments and restores the bonds of trust between doctor and patient.

The Lown Foundation’s mission to promote heart health is achieved through our cardiovascular research, training, and global outreach activities.

We believe that overcoming cardiovascular disease requires not just good science, but a strong dose of compassion and a commitment to prevention.

Organized by the Lown Foundation and the New America Foundation, and co-hosted by the Institute of Medicine, this two day conference will propose solutions to the problem of avoidable care in all areas of medicine, and facilitate the transformation of the American health care culture from one focused on volume and quantity to one centered on value and quality.
