Piedmont Heart’s annual Napa Valley Cardiology Conference interfaces providers, industry and professional society leadership in a forum to discuss the hot topics of mid 2017. Piedmont’s Dr. Charlie Brown asks Dr. Michael Valentine, incoming national president of the American College of Cardiology (ACC), about advocacy related to efforts to repeal, replace or reform the Affordable Care Act. “Better patient care and better coverage for our patients” are the key principles our members are demanding in Washington, Dr. Valentine said. “We hope that any reform of current healthcare plans will keep our patients in mind and our physicians and APPS in mind to provide a better quality of care for our patients.”
