Repost from Praveen Kanaparti, MD, FACC, RPVI, Cardiologist; Director, Advanced Cardiac Imaging at #BaptistSouth: "I had the unique honor of chatting with Dr. Renu Virmani this week at SCCT in Washington, DC. She was given the Arthur Agatston Award for 2024. I have admired Dr. Virmani’s work from when I was in medical school and during the ensuing decades with awe. One can’t measure the magnitude of her contribution to understanding of heart disease in general and coronary atherosclerosis in particular. So brilliant and yet so humble…It made my day!" #BaptistHeart #BaptistProud

HEART TO HEART WITH DR. OBI: We sat down with cardiologist Dr. Chukwuemeka Anderson Obi, MD, to get to know more about him and his passion for empowering his patients. ❤️ Q: Tell us a little about yourself. A: I'm a cardiologist and an inventor with a deep passion for patient empowerment. I believe in fostering trusting partnerships through education and personalized care to achieve the best possible health outcomes for my patients. Q: Are you from Jacksonville? If not, what brought you to this area? A: Jacksonville wasn't always home, but the opportunity to work at Baptist Health and be part of a community dedicated to exceptional health care was very appealing. Q: Why did you decide to become a cardiologist? A: The human body is a fascinating machine, and cardiology allows me to combine my love of science with the power of healing. Empowering patients through knowledge about their cardiovascular health is incredibly rewarding. Q: What makes you happiest treating patients? A: Witnessing the positive impact of education and patient-centered care on my patients' lives is what truly makes me happy. Seeing them take charge of their health and achieve better outcomes through our partnership is incredibly fulfilling. Q: What do you like to do outside of work? A: Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring nature, and immersing myself in art and live music. These experiences enrich my life and keep me inspired.
