The center uses a multidisciplinary approach and includes cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, scientists, researchers, and experts in interventional cardiology and cardiac imaging.

Matthew Jolley, MD, has been named the inaugural Topolewski Endowed Chair in Pediatric Cardiology through the family’s gift. Dr. Jolley is a cardiologist and anesthesiologist who studies and develops 3D imaging for newborn and infant atrioventricular valves.
