The VIVA ATLAS Award
A Teacher, Leader and Scholar
"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants"
- Isaac Newton
The VIVA ATLAS award is a distinction bestowed upon extraordinary individuals who
have demonstrated, during the course of their careers, leadership, mentorship and
scholarly activity, which has profoundly affected the care of patients with vascular
disease. VIVA is proud to recognize Norman Hertzer, M.D. as the first recipient of
this prestigious award. Dr. Hertzer is Chairman Emeritus of the Department of Vascular
Surgery at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. He has published over 200 manuscripts
and chapters on a wide range of topics, the most important of which may be his treatise
delineating the association of coronary and peripheral arterial diseases.
Dr. Hertzer will discuss the history behind this important discovery and its implications
in the evaluation and care of patients at VIVA 08. Please join us in celebrating
the incredible accomplishments of our first ATLAS recipient.
