Perry Mandera, owner of The Custom Companies, Inc., in Chicago, Illinois, has been involved in the Illinois trucking industry for nearly 30 years. Through Custom Cares Charities, Perry Mandera directs corporate support to a number of healthcare organizations such as the American Heart Association and the University of Chicago Medical Center.
In early February, the University of Chicago Medical Center announced the grand opening of a new Heart and Vascular Center, marking a critical step forward in its reputation as a leading medical research institution in the nation. The University of Chicago Medical Center is already home to one of the largest heart transplant centers in the nation and the birthplace of several heart disease innovations. The new center features the latest medical treatments such as robotic surgery and bloodless cardiac surgery, enabling a team of more than 40 specialty physicians to address even more complex cases. The grand opening of the new center coincides with American Heart Month, which strives to raise awareness about the leading cause of death in American men and women nationwide. Although the number of heart disease deaths has declined in recent years, it still claims approximately 600,000 lives each year—about 1 in every 4 deaths—and the American Heart Association estimates that 40 percent of Americans will have heart disease by the year 2030.
