Why CIS
Cardiovascular Institute of the South is one of the United States' largest, most comprehensive and most advanced centers for the non-surgical and surgical treatment of heart and vascular disease. CIS was founded in 1983 by Dr. Craig M. Walker in the small southern Louisiana city of Houma -- an area which has one of the highest incidences of cardiovascular disease in the industrialized world. That practice, Houma Heart Clinic (now CIS/Houma), grew, within a single decade into a group of more than 30 cardiologists and cardiovascular surgeons representing every specialty in heart and circulatory medicine, with clinics in more than a dozen communities.
From the outset, Dr. Walker had envisioned the Institute as a center for the development of new and improved techniques and technologies for the treatment of heart and peripheral vascular disease. Houma Heart Clinic quickly established an international reputation in clinical research, participating in the development of every major technology to be approved for clinical testing since its founding.
The establishment of CIS in the Louisiana bayou country was a deliberate challenge to the widely held perception that leading-edge medicine was the exclusive purview of huge multi-specialty clinics and academic medical centers. CIS's demonstration that world class medicine could be provided in smaller cities through a geographically dispersed institution earned him the honor of being named one of the U.S. Jaycees' Ten Outstanding Young Americans in 1992.
