Dr. Paul Dudley White was President Eisenhower's personal physician. In fact, he guided the president's recovery from a heart attack in 1955. And though lesser known, another of the accomplishments of this forward- thinking physician was his role as a founder of the American Heart Association. Dr. White's vision spurred the association's emergence as a world-renowned leader in heart research and education. |
