HUMC NAMES JULIUS M. GARDIN, M.D. AS CHAIRMAN OF THE DEPARTMENT OF INTERNAL MEDI

   
Hackensack University Medical Center (HUMC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Julius M. Gardin, M.D., as the new chairman of the Department of Internal Medicine. Dr. Gardin has served as the chief of Cardiology at St John’s Hospital, Detroit, Michigan and University of California Irvine Medical School.










He is a former president of the American Society of Echocardiography and currently associate editor of the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography. He was awarded the Seymour Gordon Award for Distinguished Achievement by the Detroit chapter of the American Heart Association. He was active in securing a Blue Cross Center of Excellence Award,
and certification by Solucient® for St. John’s Hospital for being one of the top 100 cardiovascular hospitals and one of the top 15 major medical teaching hospitals.

“We believe the experience, knowledge and leadership Dr. Gardin brings to the medical center will be far reaching and are pleased he decided to be part of our medical
community,” said Peter A. Gross, M.D., senior vice president and chief medical officer at HUMC. “He will add significantly to our strength in cardiovascular services.”

Dr. Gardin has developed programs in preventive cardiology, lipid clinic, lipid laboratory approved by the Centers for Disease Control, computed tomographic coronary angiography, carotid stenting, and peripheral vascular intervention. With National Institutes of Health funding, he established a core echocardiography laboratory for multicenter studies. With American Heart Association funding, he studied subclinical cardiovascular disease for Mexican-Americans. Other accomplishments include having received a Certificate in Healthcare Administration from UCLA, having spent a research sabbatical year (funded by the NIH) in a cardiac molecular biology laboratory at Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and having been an author on 175 original research publications.
HealthGrades® named HUMC one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals for the second consecutive year. This designation recognizes hospitals that have demonstrated superior clinical quality over a seven-year time period, based upon an analysis of more than 75 million Medicare patient records from 1999-2005. These hospitals have achieved better survival rates and lower complication rates across dozens of medical procedures and diagnoses, from cardiac care to orthopedic surgery, consistently ranking among the top five percent in the nation for overall clinical outcomes. HUMC is the only healthcare facility in New Jersey, New York, and New England to be named one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals. Only one percent of the nation’s hospitals can make this claim.
