A true pioneer in Milwaukee and Wisconsin heart care history, Dr. Jack C. Manley is a cardiovascular interventionist with Wisconsin Heart and Vascular Clinics. Dr. Manley joined the team of physicians that would evolve into Wisconsin Heart and Vascular Clinics in 1968 when he partnered with Dr. John Huston to perform catheterizations, use pacemakers and perform other procedures at St. Luke's Hospital in Milwaukee. That same year, Dr. Manley spearheaded the group's efforts in developing the Milwaukee Cardiovascular Data Registry which led to important discoveries about key risk factors in cardiovascular patients following coronary bypass surgery. In 1973, Dr. Manley pioneered the first cardiac stress laboratory and also developed the first cardiovascular rehabilitation program in Milwaukee. Ten years later, along with Dr. James F. King of the group, Dr. Manley established the first Cardiology Nurse Clinician (Ms. Edith Gardner) dedicated to work as a team with the cardiologist with their hospital patients to ensure optimum care to the patient and communication with the families.

Dr. Manley has had numerous Medical Staff leadership positions. He has served as Chief of Staff at St. Luke's Medical Center, Milwaukee (1986-87), Chief of Staff Elect at St. Luke's (1984-85) and Director, Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory at St. Luke's (1983-85), and Director, Milwaukee Cardiovascular Data Registry (1983-85).
