Abstract
Nearly all that is written about entrepreneurs involves the business arena; however, entrepreneurs flourish and contribute in other fields as well. This case tells the story of a noted American heart surgeon whose entrepreneurial skills and spirit enabled him early in his career to start a major heart surgery program and subsequently build a heart center at a university in rural eastern North Carolina. The case focuses on the entrepreneurial traits that carried him through various difficult times and overcome serious hurdles along the way.
