HEART CENTER WELCOMES NEW CHIEF OF CARDIOLOGY, DR. NICOLAS MADSEN
In October 2021, Children’s Health℠ welcomed Dr. Nicolas Madsen as Co-Director of The Heart Center and Chief of Cardiology.
He also serves as Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Chief of the Division of Pediatric Cardiology within the Pediatric Group at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
Following an esteemed tenure as Medical Director of the Heart Institute at Cincinnati Children’s, Dr. Madsen brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to The Heart Center to help care for the most complex pediatric cardiac patients.
Dr. Madsen has been an industry leader in pediatric cardiology as the co-founder and co-director
of the Pediatric Acute Care Cardiology Collaborative (PAC3), an organization dedicated to improving cardiac acute care outcomes by focusing on quality, value and experience.
With the addition of Dr. Madsen, the talented Heart Center team will continue to strengthen its pioneering innovation, academic research and lifesaving technology and treatments, to provide comprehensive care to pediatric cardiac patients in Texas and beyond.
“The power of philanthropy — the direct impact of our generous donors — is fundamental to our aspirations. These contributions advance our research and innovation, they build our generation-defining educational programs, and they catalyze our medical care in both scale and scope,” Dr. Madsen said. “I am thrilled to have joined Children’s Health and UT Southwestern and look forward to all we can accomplish together in the Heart Center on behalf of the children and families we serve.”
Investments in the Heart Center
Investments in the professional development and well-being of The Heart Center team members have enabled our physicians, nurses and other health care professionals to participate in continuing education; attend industry-specific conferences and presentation forums; learn about innovations in the field; and conduct hands-on simulated training to maintain and grow expertise.
They have also provided resources to ensure our staff have the support they need in as they care for children each and every day. Investments like these lend to the retention of the best and brightest in pediatric cardiac caregivers and extend a culture of life-long learning and excellence in cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, all of which benefit the children and families we serve.
