Heart House to relocate to Washington DC
Mark N August 20th, 2006
Citing the need for a larger and more modern facility, the American College of Cardiology (ACC) has announced they are relocating their headquarters at 9111 Old Georgetown Road to a new location in Washington DC.
The decision to move from the current Heart House campus in Bethesda, Maryland, to downtown Washington was the result of considerable research and analysis involving many members aided by our outstanding staff. The central themes underlying this decision included the need for a larger and better-configured facility to respond to our growth in membership and our increased scope of activity. Most important, this relocation reflects the need for a strong presence in Washington to interact with legislative and regulatory leaders.
When it located there in the 1970s, the ACC was among the first of many associations that moved to Bethesda in the past 30 years. There is no definite word yet on the future disposition of the Heart House campus, or whether the MCA will be permitted to continue holding its general membership meetings there.
