Welcome to the Website of the
Massachusetts Chapter American College of Cardiology

The purpose of our website is to provide information to our member cardiologists and also to be a valuable resource of information to the public.  Our website provides listings of our physicians based on location as well as subspecialties, as well as informative articles regarding heart health. 

Through our website, Chapter members can access the ACC Online Job Bank, as well as receive updates to important issues related to the profession of Cardiology in Massachusetts. 

In conjunction with McVey Associates, Chapter members can email their coding questions and receive quick and comprehensive answers from an expert in advanced cardiology coding at no charge. 

Again, welcome to our website!

Influenza claims more American lives every year than all other vaccine-preventable diseases combined. Children are particularly vulnerable to infection, and some may even die as a result of influenza. Each year, influenza causes about 20,000 hospitalizations and nearly 100 deaths in children younger than 5 years of age, yet vaccination rates remain low.  Many individuals – parents and health care professionals alike – don’t realize that it is beneficial to vaccinate against influenza well into the New Year.  Influenza outbreaks typically peak in February and continue until around May.  It is clear that vaccine given this January and beyond is of great benefit.

For more information, click on the following link at http://www.preventchildhoodinfluenza.org/add/. Resources include:

• Videos tailored to families/caregivers and health care providers, featuring expert Coalition members answering frequently asked questions on influenza and vaccination

• Informational materials, like posters and brochures, geared toward families/caregivers and health care providers

• A Spanish web site (www.prevengalagripeinfantil.org) hosting various educational materials

• Multilingual materials available in Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Tagalog and Vietnamese

Act now to protect children throughout the influenza season.
