Follow-up Clinic
Trillium Health
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.
