Our Community

Rooted in Houston, connected nationally.

The people, partners, and mission behind our work — from the American Heart Association to our own foundation.

Our Network

Part of the national conversation

Our team contributes to the American Heart Association’s Health Technology Advisory Group and AI Task Force, and presents peer-reviewed work at the AHA’s Scientific Sessions.

The Foundation

The Cena Research Foundation

The Cena Research Foundation develops the next generation of scientists, clinicians, and innovators. Through research, community health, and hands-on mentorship, we turn the everyday work of a research institute into an opportunity for students to learn, contribute, and give back — advancing cardiovascular care while building the people who will carry it forward.

“The greatest legacy of a leader is not what they build themselves, but what they inspire others to build for generations to come.”
