Heart Patient Care
Heart Patient Care
Integrated Approach to Patient Care
Portsmouth Regional Hospital's Heart & Lung Center offers an integrated approach to the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of heart and lung conditions. We coordinate a variety of services including preventive health, outpatient and inpatient care, invasive and non-invasive diagnostics, wellness services, physical therapy/rehabilitation programs, screenings for potential problems and disease management. This means that someone entering the program is evaluated more efficiently and thoroughly in one location, by a team that may include exercise physiologists, nurses, physical therapists, pulmonologists, nutritionists, cardiologists, respiratory therapists and internists. This streamlined approach makes it quicker and easier for patients to get the comprehensive assessment and treatment they need.
Mended Hearts
Mended Hearts Inc. is a national non-profit organization that has been offering the gift of hope to heart disease patients, their families, and caregivers for more than 50 years. The Mended Hearts program at PRH began in 2006 offering its services to cardiac patients through educational seminars, in-patient hospital visitation, and most recently, support group meetings. All cardiac patients and their families are welcome. Please contact us at 603-559-4169 if you have any questions.
The Mended Hearts program is made up of the kind of people it serves. Every member has been impacted personally by the diagnosis of heart disease, which allows them to draw on their own experiences to help others. Members listen, share their experiences, learn from healthcare professionals, and volunteer to talk to other heart disease patients about what they may face with the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Our mission is to “inspire hope in heart disease patients and their families”.
