University Heights Senior Happenings Program
2:00 PM - 3:00 PM
Christine Moravec, Ph.D., assistant dean of Lerner College of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic, is one of the first scientists to use an actual human heart in her more than 30 years of cardiology research, pioneering an electron microscope to measure calcium deposits in heart tissue, and a ventricular assist device in the chest to help the heart recover by pumping blood while the patient awaits the transplant. These interventions had never been attempted before and now assure the physicians the potential to improve therapy for patients with heart disease. For her dedication to medical science and her exemplary professional leadership, John Carroll University, her alma mater, is pleased to present its 2016 Alumni Medal to Dr. Christine Moravec.
