Origin of the BaleDoneen Method
In 2000, while at Gonzaga, Doneen met Bradley Field Bale, then a family physician in Spokane whose practice focused on early detection and treatment of cardiovascular disease.
Intrigued by one of the imaging technologies Bale was using to screen patients for arterial disease, called electron beam tomography (EBT), and wrote her dissertation on “The Relationship between Electron Beam Computed Tomography Calcium Scores and established Clinical and Serologic Risk Factors for Coronary Artery Disease,” was published in 2003.{{Cite web|url=http://theheartattackandstrokepreventioncenter.com/about-haspc/about-amy-doneen/|title=About Amy Doneen {{!}} The Heart Attack & Stroke Prevention Center|website=Theheartattackandstrokepreventioncenter.com|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-15|archive-date=November 15, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181115071403/http://theheartattackandstrokepreventioncenter.com/about-haspc/about-amy-doneen/|url-status=dead}}

In 2015, Doneen and Bale launched a nonprofit organization, the Institute of Arteriology dedicated to advancing “arteriology,” the study of arteries, and conducting research. One of its objectives, in collaboration with Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, “is the establishment of a longitudinal, interventional registry of patients who have been screened to assess their cardiovascular disease risk by evaluating their subclinical arterial disease state and then treated to optimize arterial health.”{{Cite web|url=https://www.institutearteriology.org/about-us/|title=About the Institute of Arteriology {{!}} Institute of Arteriology|website=Institutearteriology.org|language=en-US|access-date=2018-11-15|archive-date=November 15, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181115112752/https://www.institutearteriology.org/about-us/|url-status=dead}}{{Cite news|url=https://baledoneen.com/discover/institute-of-arteriology/|title=Institute of Arteriology|website=Baledoneen.com|access-date=2018-11-15|language=en-US}}
