About the Falk Cardiovascular Research Center
The
Falk Center is one of the pre-eminent facilities in the world for cardiothoracic
surgery and cardiovascular medicine. The Falk Center dedicated its new
headquarters in March, 1984, with a ceremony led by Dr. Norman Shumway,
who performed the first heart transplant in the United States in
1968. Named after Dr. Ralph Falk, a physician who practiced in Boise,
Idaho, for most of his career, and founded Baxter Laboratories,
and his widow, Marian C. Falk, the center comprises 52,000 square
feet, and is located just off Quarry Road on the Stanford campus,
adjacent to Stanford University Hospital and Lucille Salter Packard
Children's Hospital. A large central atrium, with abundant ferns cascading down
its walls and skylights overhead, makes the building bright, welcoming and
airy. Staff and physicians occupy a mezzanine-style second floor around
the atrium, with research laboratories and other rooms occupying
the lower floors.
