Follow-up Clinic

Centre - Mississauga
Trillium's Cardiac
Services Follow-up Clinic is the first service of its kind
in Canada for cardiac surgery and cardiology patients.
Launched in December
2001, cardiac patients needing early follow-up care can be
seen within three to ten days following discharge from hospital.
Acute Care Nurse Practitioners, working in collaboration with
cardiologists and cardiac surgeons, evaluate patient recovery
and assess symptoms. They also provide education and interventions
on pain management, wound management, and medications.
Cardiac patients
have many concerns and experience a wide range of symptoms.
Trillium established the Cardiac Service Follow-up Clinic
to address patients' concerns in a timely manner and to provide
additional time for patient and family education.
Look for this unique
program to grow.
