Yale – New Haven Hospital

Yep, this will be great.

Howie, it's my great pleasure today to introduce Dr. Eric Velazquez, the Robert W. Berliner Professor of Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine, and by the way, the Chief of Cardiovascular Medicine at Yale Medicine and Yale New Haven Hospital.

He also serves as a physician in chief of the Heart and Vascular Center for Yale Navient Health, deputy director of the Clinical Trials Innovation at the Yale Center for Clinical Investigation.

He's in charge of everything, almost everything cardiovascular.

We have a host of individuals at different parts of their postdoctoral training who are working within our research laboratories.

And then we have, you know, strong staff.

Now, that does not include, that's the people that are on the Yale University side, and yet we are aligned with Yale New Haven Hospital and the Yale New Haven Health System.

And in the hospital here in New Haven, we have roughly 1,000 people working in the cardiovascular space supporting this clinical mission.

far ahead of what we're doing.

So I'm glad that Yale New Haven Hospital is doing it.

And again, I'll

mention 4CT is amazing.

No, just thank you for this opportunity to highlight this work, highlight the organizations that do this work, and just how important your partnership has been in this.

So thank you.

Thank you, Dr. Jim Doddington and Pepe Vega from the Yale New Haven Hospital Age Fit Program.

This is exactly the linking science and society model that we need to promote more of.

He has presented his research extensively at national meetings and has authored and co-authored many manuscripts, textbook chapters, and online modules.

Another passion of Dr. Furstad is teaching, frequently giving lectures locally, regionally, nationally, and internationally, and also mentoring fellows in the Division of Digestive Diseases at Yale New Haven Hospital, where he holds a clinical appointment as an assistant clinical professor of medicine.

His clinical practice at the PAC Gastroenterology Division is his ultimate passion, filling the majority of his work time as he sees a broad spectrum of patients with GI and hepatic disorders.

Dr. Furstad is affiliated with the St. Raphael campus of the Yale New Haven Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital, and the Milford campus of Bridgeport Hospital.

Paul, it's great to have you today.

Sahil, it's great to be here.

But were you born in Connecticut?

I was born in New Haven, Connecticut at Yale New Haven Hospital.

Wow.

Yeah.
