Leaders in Cardiovascular Research

Dr. Bruce Brodie and Dr. Tom Stuckey

The LeBauer Cardiovascular Research Foundation was created in 1991 by Bruce Brodie, MD, Tom Stuckey, MD, and Denise Muncy, RN. For more than 25 years, the Foundation has promoted clinical research in the Piedmont Triad. The foundation was renamed The LeBauer-Brodie Center for Cardiovascular Research and Education in 2016 upon formal integration with the Heart and Vascular Center at Cone Health.

We collaborate with numerous centers in the United States and around the world to bring you promising new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose and treat heart and vascular disease.
