A diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Lipidology, Dr. Thomas Hight finished medical school at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, completing his internship in a joint program at the Univ. of Tennessee and Baptist Memorial Hospital in Memphis, where he completed his residency in general internal medicine, and stayed for several years to teach and work in private practice. Dr. Hight then served as Clinical Instructor in the Division of Internal Medicine at the University of Colorado Center for the Health Sciences in Denver, working as a general internist at Rose Medical Center in a group of endocrinologists, where diabetes and pre-diabetic metabolic conditions were commonly associated with cardiovascular events.
On being recruited to Atlanta by Promina (now Wellstarâ„¢), Dr Hight joined a cardiology group, Drs. Mims, Holladay and Newton. Heart attacks and strokes were much more common here than in a general primary care practice. It was in that setting, working as a general internist alongside three cardiologists, that Dr. Hight began to realize how frequently patients were having CV events who were non-smokers with normal cholesterol and blood pressure readings.
