Recovery Programs Designed Around You

Every recovery is different. Our nurse-led programs are built around your specific procedure, your health history, and your goals — not a one-size-fits-all checklist. From the day you come home to the day you're confidently managing on your own, your dedicated nurse is with you.

Comprehensive cardiac recovery, every step of the way

Six integrated services that work together to give you the safest, most supported recovery possible.

🩺

Clinical Recovery Management

Ongoing assessment of vitals, wound healing, medications, and cardiac function. Your nurse monitors trends and detects complications early — before they become emergencies that send you back to the hospital.

📋

Care Coordination

Direct communication with your cardiologist, primary care physician, and specialists. One nurse, one unified plan, no gaps. We ensure every provider is aligned so nothing falls through the cracks.

In-Home Nurse Visits

Hands-on clinical care delivered in the comfort of your home. Medication management, wound assessment, vital sign evaluation, and education for both patients and family members who support your recovery.

📊

Remote Patient Monitoring

Daily tracking of blood pressure, weight, oxygen levels, and symptoms between in-person visits. Your nurse reviews the data and catches concerning trends early — not after a crisis.

💊

Medication Management

Full reconciliation of all medications after discharge. Adherence support, side effect monitoring, and pharmacy coordination to ensure you're taking the right medications at the right doses.

📖

Patient & Family Education

Understanding your condition, recognizing warning signs, building confidence for self-management. We teach you and your family what to watch for, when to call, and how to support long-term heart health.

Conditions We Support

Our nurses have deep experience managing recovery across the full spectrum of cardiac conditions and procedures.

Post-Cardiac Surgery

Recovery management following CABG (bypass), valve replacement, and other open-heart procedures. Sternal wound care, activity progression, and complication surveillance.

Heart Failure Management

Daily weight and fluid monitoring, medication titration support, symptom tracking, and early intervention to prevent acute decompensation and readmission.

Post-Catheterization & Stent

Access site monitoring, dual antiplatelet therapy management, and cardiac rehabilitation coordination after catheterization or stent placement.

Arrhythmia Management

Rhythm monitoring, anticoagulation management, and post-ablation or pacemaker/ICD implant recovery. Heart rate and symptom tracking between cardiology visits.

Post-Heart Attack Recovery

Structured recovery following myocardial infarction. Risk factor modification, medication adherence, activity guidance, and emotional support during a vulnerable time.

Complex Medical Recovery

For patients with multiple comorbidities or complex discharge plans. Coordination of cardiac care alongside diabetes, renal, pulmonary, or other chronic condition management.
