Heart Failure Program

Living with Heart Failure? 

If the answer is yes, I have been diagnosed with “Heart Failure”, “Congestive Heart Failure”, or “CHF”, we can help!

 

Did you know that we have a Nurse Practitioner in the office that specializes in Heart Failure and manages an evidence-based program right in the office?

 


What can this program offer me- 

  • Specialized, patient centered care around you, your needs and desires
  • Visits with Nurse Practitioner and your Cardiologist together in the same room
  • Rotating visits with Nurse Practitioner and Cardiologist, so a clinician sees you very 3 months
  • 30–60-minute visits with the CHF Nurse Practitioner
  • Access to a dedicated CHF phone line
  • Urgent/ same day visits offered

 

Why is this program offered- 

We understand how difficult it can be to live with chronic disease. We are here to help. Our Nurse Practitioner (NP)-Led, outpatient CHF Clinic is one of a kind. Based right in your cardiologists office, our CHF NP provides guidance and support as you navigate the complexities of living with heart failure and cardiomyopathy. Our NP works alongside your cardiologist to provide you high quality, personalized care to help meet your cardiac goals.

 

Desired CHF Program outcomes- 

· Reduce hospitalization

· Improve patient quality of life

· Improve patient satisfaction

· Reduce healthcare costs

 

Common Questions- 

Easy, ask your cardiologist about the program and your next visit will be with Marie, the CHF NP. The other option is to call and schedule a visit for yourself.

No worries if the program is not for you. CHF visits with the NP can be adjusted to your needs. Typically, the NP likes to see you in office once a year, so she is up to date on your care. There is flexibility and the program is voluntary.

Absolutely not, everything is covered through insurance. Our primary goal is to help you manage chronic disease and keep you out of the hospital.

Absolutely! The CHF NP does not take over all care but provides supplemental care to your routine cardiology visits. You still see your cardiologist.
