Congratulations to Christie Ballantyne, MD, recipient of the 2026 W. Virgil Brown Distinguished Achievement Award!🏅

The highest honor conferred by the NLA, this award recognizes outstanding contributions to the diagnosis and treatment of lipid disorders. Dr. Ballantyne's decades of leadership in cardiology, cardiometabolic disease prevention, and lipid science make him a truly deserving recipient.

Don't miss his Award Lectureship on June 12 at #NLASessions: "My Journey as a Researcher, Clinician, and Patient in the Field of Lipids and Atherosclerosis: Setbacks, Advances, and Opportunities."
