Dr. Pupillo, a cardiologist who served Grace, Deaconess, and Southwest General hospitals, was the founder and creator of InforMed Centers and Wellnet. He was the first physician in his home region of Abruzzo, Italy to successfully oversee the implant of an artificial pacemaker in a patient. Dr. Pupillo wrote and published academic medical textbooks, “The ECG of Artificial Pacemakers,” and “An Atlas of Cardiac Arrhythmias,” that were used in medical schools around the world and translated in English, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, and Hindi. He was also a founding member and former President of Casa Italia, Italian American club.

A physician by trade, Giovanni Alberto Pupillo’s true calling was being a diligent, life-long learner and a devoted, passionate teacher of that which he had studied. He taught all of those close to him up until the very, very end.
