In addition, the Foundation has begun to raise funds for patients who need transportation assistance that is often daily for weeks at a time. Many of these patients live outside the immediate area.

Moneta Group leaders provided the renovation of the cardiovascular Moneta Conference Room, originally created in 2004 for our surgeons, interventional cardiologists, perfusionists, nurses and others who stand at the bedside for pre-and post-procedures. The conference room has been essential to the cardiac care team in reviewing over 1,000 cases annually and provides a space for critical education for those who deliver care.
