The Patterson Foundation's (TPF) approach to philanthropy goes beyond traditional geographic boundaries, tapping into expansive networks and movements that work toward shared aspirations.
Exemplifying TPF's collaborative approach to philanthropy, a report titled Proven Practices: Applying National Practices Locally was developed to identify and examine ten instances where TPF worked with national organizations to catalyze efforts toward shared aspirations locally while enhancing national efforts. As a follow-up to the report, and to dive deeper into how TPF undertakes its philanthropic work in ways others are not doing, cannot do, or will not do, Kiarra Louis had a conversation with Debra Jacobs, President and CEO of The Patterson Foundation.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
