	To register for the 21st Annual Meeting and Scientific Session on Thursday, May 2, 2013 Click on the Meetings and Education Link to the right The Connecticut Chapter of the American College of Cardiology and the entire cardiology community of Connecticut expresses our deepest sympathy and sorrow to the families that were affected by this horrific tragedy at the Sandy Hook Elementary School on 12/14/2012. We support individual constitutional rights, but from a public health perspective there is no role for automatic and semi-automatic guns in our society other than in the hands of the military and law enforcement. There should also be a significant increase in funding and support for school based mental health and special education programs, where early identification and intervention might serve as a much more effective form of prevention than is currently available. Welcome to the Website of the Connecticut Chapter of the American College of Cardiology The purpose of our website is to provide information to our members and to the public about the practice of cardiology in Connecticut. Chapter members can keep current with what is happening in Connecticut and nationally, keep in touch with fellow Chapter members and access the ACC Online Job Bank. In an effort to help practices not only survive, but thrive, in today’s challenging health care environment, the ACC has launched the new PINNACLE Network™. This first-ever, registry-based cardiovascular network is designed to promote practice innovations and achieve clinical excellence. The PINNACLE Network™ immediately addresses the rapidly shifting business environment that private cardiovascular practices face with a wealth of practice management and financial management tools. It also builds a foundation for innovative, registry-based systems to reward practices for the high quality care that they provide. Specifically, the PINNACLE Network™ builds on the College's commitment, experience and leadership in cardiovascular care and forms a one-stop shop for: Practice management tools Workflow and workforce solutions Educational and advocacy resources Health IT tools Risk management strategies for lowering medical liability costs, and The PINNACLE Registry – formerly the IC3 Program The ACC believes that the systematic practice of quality care is the foundation for practice success—clinically, financially and professionally. The PINNACLE Network is the community and the pathway to help you and your practice achieve that success. Visit the PINNACLE Network™
