Franciscan St. Francis Health is one of our largest and longest-standing clients, and we couldn’t be happier that its cardiac surgery “rock star,” Marc Gerdisch, M.D., has been named one of Indianapolis Monthly’s Top Docs.
Not only does Dr. Gerdisch, chief of cardiovascular and thoracic surgery at the St. Francis Heart Center in Indianapolis, receive accolades locally, but he is also recognized among the world’s leading heart valve surgeons.
Dr. Gerdisch was recognized as a “top doc” because he applies his visionary thinking and skills to the development and use of the latest medical devices and technologies. Among his countless honors and accolades, he was the first in the world to use extra-cellular matrix technology to rebuild an internal structure of the heart. Dr. Gerdisch was also first in the nation to perform post-FDA approval surgery using a new device for treating tricuspid valve disease.
Congratulations on this tremendous honor!

At each staff meeting, we begin with a Creativity Exercise to get our brains going. Our latest exercise challenged us to develop a few sniglets. For those not familiar, a sniglet is any word that doesn’t appear in the dictionary, but should.
PowerPoint slides are frequently incorporated into presentations. When they’re executed well, they can increase your audience’s understanding of your message.

I don’t know about you, but I can hardly believe that the holidays are almost here! Amidst the chaos of the holiday shopping season it is so easy to think about what WE want…whether that is a designer handbag, home décor or a new car. (Wait—is that just me?)

I ran track in high school, but I was never very good, and I wasn’t committed enough to keep it up beyond high school. My husband thinks that one of the funniest things I ever said was, in response to the question, “Do you run?”
Thanks to all who came out to the 2011 Borshoff Annual Gallery Show + Awards on Friday night at the Harrison Center for the Arts. We really appreciate your support and hope you enjoyed seeing the artwork created by Herron illustration students as much as we did.
After three years of visiting other cities (Denver, Charlotte and Austin), the Greater Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Exchange program elected Indianapolis as the city to “visit” this year. A highlight of the three-day experience was a bike-ride from the White River State Park Visitors’ Center via the Cultural Trail to the Indiana Landmarks building at 12th & Central.
…Time for our annual gallery show featuring the work of talented artists from the Herron School of Art + Design. We truly look forward to this event … as much as a child looks forward to Christmahanakwanzika! (And just as much care and planning go into making this a great event.)
