Heart Health Clinic

The clinic offers gender-specific care for coronary patients and patients at risk of developing heart disease. The clinic provides concrete tools and methods that lead to measurable lifestyle improvements and reductions in risk factors.

​

The clinic operates according to the nurse-managed multi-disciplinary team approach to bring about significant lifestyle improvements and reduce risk factors in coronary patients and women at risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The team includes a nurse, nutritionist, physical activity specialist, psychologist, and physician. 

The mental health component recognizes that emotional and psychological factors often have an impact on an individual's efforts to adopt a healthy lifestyle, and may preclude progress until adequately addressed. Adapted to a hospital-based setting, the clinic incorporates and evaluates patient-centered care innovations.
