Heart Surgeon Creates Legacy of Research Excellence
As a cardiothoracic surgeon serving Central and Eastern Kentucky, UK HealthCare physician Dr. Sibu Saha understands the need for advanced cardiovascular research to serve the people of a state struggling with high levels of heart disease. Over the course of his career, Saha has established surgery and cardiology programs where none had existed previously in rural Kentucky, founded a cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program, and created an endowment to fund nursing education to address a shortage of cardiology nurses in Eastern Kentucky. Now a generous gift from the Saha family to support cardiovascular research at the University of Kentucky has resulted in the naming of the Dr. Sibu and Becky Saha Cardiovascular Research Center.
