Making Your Cardiac Comeback: A Virtual, Monthly Program for All Cardiac Patients
Designed for individuals who have experienced or are managing any heart condition, “Making Your Cardiac Comeback” is an informative, educational, and supportive exploration that highlights the challenges and rewards that come with
taking care of one’s heart.
Facilitated by Elliot Brown, MD, FACC, a Valley Medical Group cardiologist with 30 years of treating patients with a variety of heart conditions, each monthly session begins with an interesting clinical case, presented by Dr. Brown, illustrating the imaging techniques and treatment modalities used by Valley’s cardiovascular team. The program then transitions into a guest speaker who shares the latest information in their area of practice. At the end of the program, don’t miss your chance to speak directly with Valley’s guest subject matter expert and Dr. Brown.
Now in its seventh year, “Making Your Cardiac Comeback” is part lecture, part support group, and part informal conversation. It’s a unique event that will leave you inspired, educated, and better prepared for the future. Won’t you join us at our next monthly program?
All sessions are free and held virtually via Zoom from 6 to 7 p.m.
