The Richard B. and Lynne V. Cheney Cardiovascular Institute
Who We Are
The Richard B. and Lynne V. Cheney Cardiovascular Institute at The George Washington University was established in 2006 by a generous $2.7 million dollar charitable contribution from Vice President Richard Cheney and his wife Lynne.
The Institute's goal is to be the leading center for cardiovascular research, education and community service - and to do so by leveraging the enormous resources of The George Washington University.
Mission
The mission of The Richard B. and Lynne V. Cheney Cardiovascular Institute is to promote clinical research, education, patient care and community service with the goal of accelerating the pace of scientific discovery, reducing mortality and improving the quality of life of Americans with cardiovascular disease.
To achieve these goals, the Institute seeks to provide an interdisciplinary structure to integrate basic and clinical investigators, clinicians, medical educators, health policy experts and community leaders.
