The hospital treats about 7,000 patients in its cardiology department annually, with only 30% of those being women, according to a Feb. 11 news release from NYC Health + Hospitals.
“Heart disease in women is underrecognized and therefore undertreated by both healthcare providers and the community,” Deborah Reynolds, MD, associate director of NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst’s cardiology department, said in the release. “Our team of providers can take care of heart issues from the initial office visit to the most critical moments.”
The new institute will offer laboratory testing, imaging, preconception risk assessment, cardiovascular care during pregnancy, and community outreach campaigns, as well as lifestyle, nutritional, rehabilitative and social support, the release said.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
