About the Western Society<br />
<strong>of</strong> Pediatric Cardiology<br />
This Society originally began as the California Society <strong>of</strong> Pediatric<br />
Cardiology in the mid 1960s, but became defunct for several years<br />
until a new generation <strong>of</strong> cardiologists headed by Arno Hohn, MD (Los<br />
Angeles) resuscitated the society in 1989, and turned it into a vibrant<br />
organization. In September 2001, under the leadership <strong>of</strong> then president,<br />
Norman Silverman, MD (Palo Alto), the name <strong>of</strong> the society was changed<br />
to the Western Society <strong>of</strong> Pediatric Cardiology to reflect ever-expanding<br />
membership not only from California but also from most <strong>of</strong> the western<br />
states. Our potential membership pool now consists <strong>of</strong> more than 500<br />
cardiologists and surgeons involved in the care <strong>of</strong> children, adolescents<br />
and young adults with congenital heart disease in 12 western states.<br />
Actual membership consists <strong>of</strong> those who have voluntarily registered<br />
and paid annual dues. We meet once a year for a scientific session in<br />
an attractive location sponsored by a member group <strong>of</strong> the Society,<br />
featuring strong guest speakers.<br />
