Get Started Heart Health
Cardiac Management Program
The Cardiac Management Program was developed to address the growing concerns of all aspects of cardiac care: prevention, special needs after a cardiac event and chronic needs of our members with congestive heart failure.
Prevention of cardiac disease starts early and in many cases before there is a diagnosis of heart disease. We focus our efforts on members with diabetes (high blood sugar), high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia). We know that by effectively managing these 3 conditions can prevent the serious and often life threatening effects of heart disease.
Proper management of your health after a heart attack, stent placement and open heart surgery can be challenging. We work with you and your health care team to promote healing and make the most of your recovery.
For our members with congestive heart failure, we focus our attention on improving your quality of life. By providing education regarding diet, weight management and proper use of medication, we work with you and your doctor to prevent unwanted hospital visits that prevent you from getting the most out of life.
