Our StoryOur founder Dr. Heval Kelli was lucky to meet the heart surgeon Dr. Lattouf while he was washing dishes during college across from Emory University, where he completed his cardiology fellowship a few years later. He started YPI because he wanted to make medical mentorship and networking an opportunity for all and not just a matter of luck.
