By now, you should be aware that the Heart Failure Clinic (and our colleagues in the Coumadin and Lipid clinics) relocated in January to a new home in the Center for Heart Health, Suite 350 of Medical Plaza B, 613 23rd St., Ashland. We know change can be difficult. And we've had our share of challenges …. “Where did that blood pressure cuff go?!” “Have you seen the education sheet on sodium?” We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work out the kinks! If you’ve visited our new offices already, you know we now have a more comfortable and spacious waiting area and more exam rooms. The Heart Failure Clinic tripled in size – we now have three rooms dedicated to meeting your needs. This expansion means not only can we care for more patients, we also can accommodate urgent visits and unplanned services more readily – without backing up the schedule for everyone. Along with the move we expanded our team, adding a second nurse, Judy Tiller. She joins nurse Barbara Davis and nurse practitioner Donna Holbrook in caring for you. Being closer to the hospital and the cardiologists’ offices means that if you need a level of care that is beyond our scope – or an immediate cardiologist consultation – they can be easily arranged, without the need to drive elsewhere. Keep your eyes open – we have great new things planned for the clinic this year. We look forward to sharing them with you!
