Thank You to Our Founders
Many of the physicians included in WakeMed Heart & Vascular combined group were originally employed by Raleigh Cardiology. Raleigh Cardiology was formed on August 1, 1979 by G. Ray Cheely and Charles Mangano. Shortly thereafter, they were joined by Virgil Wynia and Amarendra Reddy.
These four physicians helped build the WakeMed Heart Program into North Carolina's busiest cardiac program. Dr. Reddy performed the first heart catheterization at WakeMed. Both Dr. Wynia and Dr. Reddy retired as of October 2015 and we are greatly appreciative to them for their years of great patient care.
