School Founding and Honorary Awards

Paul A. Grayburn, MD

Founding Fathers of the Cardiovascular Institute

The founding of the Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospitals Cardiovascular Institute was made possible by the vision and determination of Dr. Paul A. Grayburn. Dr. Grayburn has served Baylor Scott & White Health (BSWH) for over 18 years as the Paul J. Thomas Chair for Cardiology Research and Education, and as the Medical Director of Cardiology Research. He has worked extensively in defining the cause, severity and course of many valvular heart diseases while helping develop transcatheter interventional therapies to treat them. He pioneered a novel gene therapy delivery technique using sonicated microbubbles and ultrasonic imaging. He has volunteered countless hours to numerous writing groups which published guidelines documents to define best practices for both the assessment and treatment for valvular heart diseases.

In recognition of his efforts to establish this school and for his abundant academic contributions to the field of cardiology, an annual award has been named in his honor for the outstanding student of the year in each program. The "Paul A. Grayburn, MD Outstanding Student Award" is granted to the student with the highest overall grade.

To become a reality, Dr. Grayburn's concept needed support at the highest

levels of a hospital's administration, and he found enthusiastic backing at

Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital-Plano. When presented the

concept of founding a school comprised of multiple Allied Health

disciplines in early January of 2020, hospital president Mark A. Valentine

quickly grasped the potential of Dr. Grayburn's vision and positive impact for

the BSWH system. With his trademark sense of urgency and aggressive pace

toward project completion, Mr. Valentine presented this opportunity at the

February meeting with the hospital's Board of Managers. The Board of

Managers agreed wholeheartedly with Mr. Valentine and, despite a blooming worldwide COVID-19 pandemic, voted unanimously on

President Mark A. Valentine, BS, MBA

March 23, 2020 to found Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospitals Cardiovascular Institute.

For his pivotal role in making this school vision into a reality and for his unrelenting efforts in constantly refining the BSWH System to improve patient care and outcomes, an annual award has been named in his honor. The "Mark A. Valentine Outstanding Clinical Student Award" is granted to the student in each program with the highest clinical grade.

Dr. Grayburn and President Mark Valentine are the founding fathers of this first-ever school-of-its-kind within the BSWH network, and its establishment is a direct result of their determination and courage. Countless patients and students will benefit from their efforts for decades to come.
