Massachusetts healthcare network opens heart failure clinic
Cape Cod Healthcare in Hyannis, Massachusetts, has opened a new heart failure clinic to serve people in the community who may be at risk or have been diagnosed with cardiovascular disease, reports Cape Cod Today.
The clinic will be directed by cardiologist Elissa Thompson, MD, and will offer a multidisciplinary team with same-day and next-day appointments.
“Our overriding goal is to help keep heart failure patients out of the hospital,” Thompson said. “We want to provide a home base for patients to learn how to live with their illness and have one-stop access to our multidisciplinary team.”
