Patients come to us for their cardiac care, including heart failure prevention and heart attack after care.
Your care at AHN doesn’t end after the completion of a heart procedure or treatment. We offer an all-encompassing approach to heart care that includes:
The cardiac rehab program provides safe exercise training, one-on-one and group education, and counseling to improve your endurance, physical well-being, and quality of life. It’s available for people recovering from heart attack or heart surgery, or people who have heart failure or peripheral artery disease. Learn more about cardiovascular rehabilitation.
Our pharmacists have advanced training in cardiovascular medicine, and the management and treatment of heart problems. If you need an anticoagulant, or blood thinner, our pharmacists monitor you for health changes or problems, adjusting your medications as needed.
Nurse navigators and transitional care coordinators in our HeartCare Program ease your transition from the hospital back to home or to a care facility. We partner with and train staff at local care facilities to ensure that you receive appropriate follow-up care. Learn more about the Cardiovascular Institute.
This program combines conventional medical treatment with complementary approaches. Depending on the service, you may take part in a program while in the hospital, at home, or as an outpatient. We offer:
Our registered dietitians have specialized training in heart disease, diabetes, and other conditions that affect heart health. You can meet with a dietitian to develop a dietary program that takes your specific health concerns into consideration, such as a low-sugar or low-sodium diet.
Our palliative care team provides care and support to patients and loved ones faced with a serious heart condition. We help manage pain, anxiety, depression, and other symptoms, as well as address emotional and spiritual needs, and coordinate care.
