Summit Cardiac provides private, nurse-led recovery management for cardiac and high-risk medical patients. We bridge the dangerous gap between hospital and home, ensuring continuity of care, reduced readmissions, and personalized health oversight.
The most vulnerable period for cardiac patients isn't in the hospital. It's the 30 days after they leave. Without structured recovery management, patients miss medications, ignore warning signs, and end up right back in the ER.
Every patient gets a dedicated RN who coordinates their entire post-hospital recovery.
Ongoing assessment of vitals, wounds, medications, and cardiac function. Early detection of complications before they become emergencies.
Direct communication with your cardiologist, primary care physician, and specialists. One team, one plan, no gaps.
Hands-on clinical care in your home. Medication management, wound assessment, education for patients and families.
Daily tracking of blood pressure, weight, oxygen levels, and symptoms between visits. Trends caught early, not after a crisis.
Most post-discharge care is either a corporate agency sending a different aide every week, or a virtual platform where you talk to a screen. Neither catches what an experienced nurse catches in person.
Rotating staff. Different nurse every visit. No continuity. You repeat your story every time. Focused on billing, not outcomes.
App-based rehab. No one physically checks your wound site, listens to your lungs, or notices the subtle signs that something is off.
One experienced nurse. Your nurse. In your home. Coordinating with your doctors. Catching problems before they become readmissions.
Summit Cardiac is built and run by a Registered Nurse with 28+ years of hands-on cardiac care. That's three decades of discharge planning, post-op monitoring, and catching the early warning signs that generic care models miss.
"I've spent nearly three decades at the bedside. Cardiac patients need someone who understands the physiology, reads the subtle signs, and knows when something is wrong before it becomes a 911 call. That's not a home health aide — that's a nurse who specializes in hearts."
Daily fluid monitoring, weight trending, medication titration support, and early decompensation detection.
Surgical wound assessment, activity progression, sternal precaution education, and complication screening.
KardiaMobile 6L cardiac rhythm monitoring, medication compliance, and cardiologist communication loops.
Ongoing hemodynamic monitoring, exertion tolerance assessment, and structured activity advancement plans.

When you refer a complex cardiac patient, you need to know they'll be in clinical hands — not handed off to a staffing agency. Here's what referring providers tell us.
The level of detail in their follow-up communication is unlike anything I see from standard home health. They send me a clinical summary after every visit. I know exactly what's happening with my patients between appointments.
I discharged a CHF patient on a Friday with early signs of fluid retention. Summit Cardiac caught the decompensation by Monday morning and called me directly. That patient would have been back in my ED by Tuesday.
Our readmission rate for the cardiac patients we refer to Summit Cardiac is measurably lower. For high-risk cases — especially CHF and post-CABG — this is now my first call. It's the closest thing to a step-down unit in the home.
Representative examples — real testimonials collected as partnerships develop. Specific provider names withheld pending written authorization.
Discharge planners and cardiologists ask these questions before making their first referral. Here are the straight answers.
Summit Cardiac exists because too many patients leave the hospital with a stack of discharge papers and no real plan. We're the plan. Private, personalized, nurse-led recovery management for the patients who need it most.
Start Your Recovery Journey"I've spent nearly three decades caring for patients in hospitals and homes. I've seen what happens when the system works and when it fails. Summit Cardiac is built on a simple belief: every cardiac patient deserves a nurse who knows them by name, not a number in a system."
