 Sarasota Memorial’s medical team honored interventional cardiologist Michael Mumma, MD, FACC, with a Lifetime Achievement Award at SMH’s annual medical staff meeting on Tuesday. “The practice of medicine is both an art and a science  – the ability to bring scientific principles to the art of human interaction,” said SMH cardiology chair James Fox, MD, before presenting his longtime colleague with SMH’s Lifetime Achievement Award on Tuesday.  “A discussion of Michael’s scientific abilities tells only half the story. Everyone has a warm personal story to tell about Mike. I believe that I share the same sentiments with the physicians and staff in this room and those throughout the department that we have all been lucky to know and work with this exceptional man.”
