Dr. Novick had the opportunity to be featured on the podcast "Heart to Heart with Anna"
Dr. William Novick is a most unusual cardiothoracic surgeon who travels the world mending broken hearts in countries where many of these children would be left to succumb to their congenital heart defects. Together with his team, Dr. Novick does even more than mend broken hearts; however, since he also expends a great deal of time and energy teaching doctors, nurses and support staff in those countries how to care for their heart warriors and he even brings in life-saving technology to leave behind. Tune in to hear about how Dr. Novick got started on this mission, who helps him with this philanthropic endeavor and how you can get involved, too!

News,Partners,Press
Novick Cardiac Alliance had the opportunity to attend the 32nd Annual Meeting of the European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS) in Milan Italy in October 2018. Watch the video below of Dr. William Novick and Dr. Marcelo Cardarelli as they discuss "Lessons Learned in Humanitarian Cardiac Surgery."
Humanitarian Footprint
Latest,News,Press
Novick Cardiac Alliance has published a research article in JAMA, a peer-reviewed medical journal published by the American Medical Association. The article is titled "Cost-effectiveness of Humanitarian Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Programs in Low- and Middle-Income Countries". It describes the cost-effectiveness of providing heart surgery to children in developing countries, but it also accounts for the long-term effects at the individual and societal level.
"The Humanitarian Footprint", as we describe this the long-term effect, is measured in extra years of life expectancy, extra years of schooling and lifetime income potentially added for the patients treated in our global humanitarian interventions.
It turns out that in 2015 alone, there were 16 932 years of Life Expectancy, 1 484 years of schooling and $67 642 191 lifetime income potentially added to the cohort of patients we operated around the world. We always suspected humanitarian pediatric cardiac surgery was doing something good for our patients and the world. Now we have the data!

Meet Our Cardiac Alliance!
By stacey
I am writing to introduce you to a new non-profit charity founded by me and those who wanted to further my dream to help children around the globe with congenital heart disease. After 22 years of operating on 7500 children in 32 countries with International Children's Heart Foundation, a significant number of us have left and continued the original vision by founding the William Novick Global Cardiac Alliance (NCA). NCA was founded in October 2014 by 18 individuals who wanted to continue the mission of operating on children with heart disease, educating our colleagues in developing nations and above all helping to foster sustainable solutions to pediatric cardiac care. We are, by choice, non-sectarian in our approach so that all may receive care or volunteer to help.
The necessity of founding NCA did not slow us down but encouraged us to continue to be better and to work harder to reach our goal. We have over 30 Cardiac Alliance trips scheduled for 2015 and will be adding more countries in coming years. We aim to provide comprehensive care to all children with congenital or acquired heart disease regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, political ideation, genetic factors or economic means.
YOU are our "heart", the pumping force of our organization without YOU we would not be able to extend our services around the world. With this letter I am extending an invitation to all of you to join us in our endeavors to mend little hearts through volunteering, donating, or spreading the word in your community.
Warm Regards from our Founding Board:
William Novick, MD MS; Brian Forsberg, MPH CCP; David Wieduwilt, BME CE; Elizabeth Novick, BSN, RN; Eugene Suslin, MD; Farzana Shah, BSN, RN; Frank Molloy, MSc, RN; Humberto Rodriguez, MD; Igor Polivenok, MD PhD; Jean Towne; Karen Bowtell, PGDip, RN; Kathleen Fenton, MD; Marcelo Cardarelli, MD MPH; Martina Pavanic, BSN, RN; Pavel Shauchenka, MD; Siarhei Liauchonak, MD; Sri Rao, MD; Stacey Marr, MSc, RN
