 Women's HeartCare
Your heart is in the right place
You've probably heard it all by now...
Someone dies from cardiovascular disease almost every
minute. It is the leading cause of death among women. Women
over 40 are less likely than men to survive a year after
their first heart attack.
Thanks to a nationwide educational effort, awareness of
risks and symptoms of heart disease has increased. But
action to lessen those risks has not. Why? Because women who
are first to take care of their family's health issues are
too often the last to take care of their own.
For women like you, there's Meriter Women's HeartCare - a
comprehensive cardiovascular program designed especially for
women by women. We help you find out your risk for heart
disease and take steps to prevent it. We develop a plan
that's right for you, a plan you can live with, with goals
you want to achieve. And we make it easy to fit into your
busy life, with all services provided in one place.
Heart disease is a problem you can do something about, and
we help you take the next steps. Call (608) 417-6447 today
to schedule an appointment for a heart health risk
assessment, or to find out more about the program.
When you call Meriter Women's HeartCare, we will schedule a
risk assessment visit. We'll see if you are at low, moderate
or high risk for heart disease and tell you about next
steps. From there, you may choose to enroll in our lifestyle
intervention program. The program consists of a team of
experts who work with each patient to make changes for a
healthy heart. As a participant in the program, you'll meet
other women who - like you - believe they owe it to
themselves and those they love to be healthy for life.
At Meriter Women's HeartCare, your heart is in the right
place.
