Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian has appointed Dr. Jack Sun to lead the cardiovascular surgery program at Hoag’s Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart & Vascular Institute.
“Dr. Sun’s arrival marks a new chapter for cardiac care at Hoag,” Hoag Chief Executive and President Robert Braithwaite said in a statement.
The cardiovascular surgery program is dedicated to treating patients with advanced and challenging forms of heart failure. Sun will help lead development of the program in his new role.
The Jeffrey M. Carlton Heart & Vascular Institute was the top cardiothoracic program in Orange County last year, having performed more than 440 cases, according to Hoag.
Sun previously spent more than six years as chief of cardiac surgery and health sciences associate clinical professor of surgery at the University of California, Irvine.
He earned his medical degree from the University of Toronto, finished residency training in cardiac surgery at McMaster University and completed his fellowship at Harvard University-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital.
