Did you know we are the FIRST Chapter of the ACC?

One of the pivotal moments in its history is that we have chapters and our chapter network is strong and vibrant. As ACC celebrates its 75th Anniversary, we were able to look back on our chapter and its role - click below to read the article in Cardiology Magazine. And cheers to us for the past while we continue to forge ahead and be your cardiology home!

President's Message

December 2025


Dear FCACC Members,


As we conclude 2025 and look ahead to the opportunities awaiting us in the coming year, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to each of you for your dedication to cardiovascular care in Florida and to our Chapter. 

 

This has been another productive and collaborative year for the FCACC, marked by meaningful engagement in advocacy, education, international partnerships and leadership development:

 

Advocacy

Our Florida delegation was highly engaged at the ACC Legislative Conference in Washington, DC and at the state level. Please plan on coming to Tallahassee during session to be the “Doctor or the Day”.


Education

Our educational programming remains foundational to our mission. The Annual Meeting in August 2025 was exceptional — driven by strong attendance, outstanding scientific content, and meaningful peer interaction. I look forward to seeing you at the 2026 Annual Meeting, July 31–August 2, 2026, at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

 

International Collaboration

Coming soon is our Winter Meeting, January 31–February 1, 2026, at the Mayfair House Hotel & Garden in Coconut Grove. As usual, the meeting will feature both a Fellows-in-Training Forum and a seminar for all, "Her Heart, Everyone’s Responsibility" which has been put together by our Women Cardiologists Committee chair, Rhea Sancassani, MD, FACC. Together, these programs provide a highly interactive and meaningful educational experience, with strong engagement across Florida.


Finally, as the holiday season approaches, I extend warm wishes to you and your families. I hope this season brings rest, renewal, and an opportunity to reflect on the meaningful work we do together and the needed care we provide to our patients, the citizens of the great state of Florida. I look forward to advancing our shared mission throughout 2026.

 

It remains a privilege to serve as your President. Thank you for your continued dedication, involvement, and leadership.

 

With best regards and warm wishes for a healthy and fulfilling New Year,

 

David Kenigsberg, MD, FACC

President, Florida Chapter

American College of Cardiology
