A young ethnic nurse on the phone.

Good news — you have support available today.

In the Heart Health Program, you’ll be paired 1-on-1 with a registered nurse. Together, you’ll find ways to improve how the condition affects different aspects of your life — from physical to financial, and emotional aspects like stress as well.

 

By connecting with you and your doctors, your nurse will provide education and support to help you manage the condition better. This can potentially decrease your chances for hospitalization, lower your health care costs and positively impact your health and well-being.

Here’s a preview of what you can expect.

Every Day a Gift

I have heart failure.

Carol, Heart Failure Patient

I was a little dubious about talking to someone on the phone regarding my health. And at first I thought oh it’s just a bother, right.

But she quickly earned my trust.

Heart Health Support Program

The program is the ability to have patients be involved with a nurse, one on one, making sure they understand why they take their medications, why it’s so important to follow their physician treatment plan.

She has a smile in her voice. And she’s very knowledgeable and that knowledge comes through.

We call them every month and ask them about their symptoms. Were able to send out a biometric device where the patients are able to weigh themselves every day.

I stand on the scale. There’s a little monitor and then magically it talks to you.

They answer specific questions related to heart failure like are you having more shortness of breath? Are you having more swelling? Have you taken your medications? That information will come to us electronically.

In three days I gained six pounds.

That’s really significant. That could be they’re retaining fluids.

Well I did have some ham.

We discussed the whole diet and that was a help because I might have ignored it. I would just highly recommend it for people because I think it’s very, very helpful. And I’m still here and kicking. It’s just I don’t kick quite as high anymore.
