Dr. Nieca's Mission

Today, heart disease remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the U.S., yet it's often treated as a male-focused issue. Dr. Nieca is committed to addressing these disparities, advocating for comprehensive, whole-person care, and challenging outdated frameworks. Her work emphasizes the unique needs of women and underserved groups, promoting research and innovations that put women at the forefront of heart health. Guided by the belief that Women Are Not Small Men, she aims to revolutionize cardiac care and empower communities for healthier futures.
