Terrific keynote talk from Jeff Teuteberg on the challenges of managing HF within systems Courage and Innovation Symposium. Inspired by his system for tracking GDMT and hospitalization risk on his HF pts. More innovation like this needed to tackle this massive problem.

Roberto M Lang to the best work Dad anyone could ask for. It's hard to believe it's been 17 years since we started working together; life without your presence feels unimaginable. Your impact on the field and your constant guidance have been invaluable and will be deeply missed.
