East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation was established in 2001 at Baptist Hospital of East Tennessee to promote cardiovascular health through education, research, and community service. Under the not for profit Baptist Health System, income generated from multiple cardiovascular clinical trials supported East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation and established an endowment. Dr. Malcolm Foster is the Director of Cardiovascular Research and President of East Tennessee Cardiovascular Research Foundation. The Foundation is staffed entirely by volunteers, physicians, nurses and cardiovascular specialists.
