Dear Doctor DeBakey:

a - St. Elizabeth Hospital is a 600 bed hospital
currently planning an extensive expansion program in

the near future. We would appreciate it if you would
consider this hospital for the cardio-vascular and stroke
rehabilitation centers which are being planned in this
State and in the nation under the auspices of the Federal
Government.

Doctor Angelo Riberi, a member of the cardiac team
6 is also a member of the Cardio-Vascular Society. He

; assures me that you would be the man best qualified to
tell us who to get in touch with to offer our hospital as
a center.

The doctors here have an active and progressive de=
partment of Surgery with a chief interest in developing

the potential of the younger surgeons, as well as utiliz-
ing the knowledge, skill and experience of the others.

In the Cardio-Vascular Section there have been over
two-hundred reconstructive procedures on the carotid artery
for the prevention of strokes done in the past two years.
They are also doing complete coronary and other types of
angiographic studies. together with all the corrective work
in the areas of congenital and acquired cardiac anomolies.

These are just a resume of the activities in progress
at this hospital which have been made possible only because
of the interested and qualified men.
