About the ACC

PINNACLE Network™

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. 

HAITI EARTHQUAKE RELIEF We are saddened by the enormous tragedy and loss of life in the impoverished country of Haiti. The earthquake’s unimaginable toll is only beginning - 7,000 people were buried in mass graves in the immediate aftermath. The news coverage has been heart wrenching; the news photos profoundly disturbing. As physicians, we understand human suffering as few others are able; we feel compelled to help in any way we can. Fortunately, we are in a position to help in easing the burden of the Haitian people. At the suggestion of MA-ACC members, we are requesting donations be sent to the American Red Cross, which is spearheading the US effort to bring relief to Haiti. We would like to make these donations in the name of individual members who donate as members of the Massachusetts Chapter of the ACC. The Chapter will accept contributions until March 15, 2010. If you would like to make a donation, please send a check to the address below and made out to “American Red Cross”: Massachusetts Chapter - American College of Cardiology 900 Cummings Center Suite 221-U Beverly, MA 01915 We will forward these checks along to the Red Cross in your name, collated by the MA-ACC, unless requested otherwise. Your generosity in easing the suffering in Haiti at a time they need it most is greatly appreciated. All donations are tax deductible, and the first donations received will receive a $1,000 match by an anonymous donor. Sincerely, Thomas C. Piemonte, MD Governor, MA-ACC Please note that a Help for Haiti Fund has also been launched on the ACC National website at www.acc.org/about/support/charitable_giving.htm.
