Art for Heart Honoree, Arthur C. Martin, MD, FACC
Arthur C. Martin, MD, FACC, with Hattiesburg Clinic Heart & Vascular has been selected by the American Heart Association (AHA) as this year’s physician honoree for the annual Art for Heart fundraising event. This event will not only celebrate Dr. Martin’s contributions to cardiovascular care but also brings together the Pine Belt community to support lifesaving cardiovascular research and initiatives.
For years, Art for Heart has served as a crucial fundraising event, helping to advance the mission of the AHA—leading breakthroughs in science, technology, patient care, policy change and awareness surrounding heart disease and stroke prevention. Art for Heart encourages supporters to join the fight against cardiovascular disease while celebrating individuals who make a profound impact on the health and well-being of patients.
Martin expressed his deep gratitude for being recognized this year. Reflecting on the significance of the honor, he shared:
“Each year, the American Heart Association honors an individual at its annual Art for Heart fundraiser. This year, I am humbled to receive this recognition, which has been an unexpected yet meaningful honor. Many in the community have reached out with kind words, but to me, this is not about personal recognition—it’s a testament to the incredible cardiovascular program at Hattiesburg Clinic. Being part of this team is the true honor, and for that, I am deeply grateful.”
The American Heart Association continues to make strides in advancing cardiovascular care, and the funds raised through Art for Heart play a vital role in supporting research, improving treatments and ultimately saving lives.
Martin’s commitment to patient care, vision and compassion makes him a fitting honoree for this year’s event. As the Pine Belt community comes together for the event, the evening will serve as a powerful reminder of the collective effort to combat heart disease and stroke, ensuring a healthier future for all.
