Since its inception in 2009, Heat It To Beat It has raised over $3M to support research led by Dr. Sardi and his team at Mercy Medical Center. Celebrating its 16th year in 2025, this patient-led walk is focused on generating awareness for the life-saving HIPEC treatment. Armando Sardi, M.D., Director of The Institute for Cancer Care at Mercy, and his colleagues, Dr. Vadim Gushchin, Dr. Teresa Diaz-Montes and Dr. Kurtis Campbell, are among a finite group of surgical oncologists in the United States considered experts in the treatment of peritoneal carcinomatosis using HIPEC.
