Taking Care of Our Community

Heartfelt offers cardiac screenings to prevent tragedies caused by Sudden Cardiac Death (SCD). For a nominal donation per screening, Heartfelt provides Echocardiograms (ECHO) and Electrocardiograms (ECG/EKG) for individuals, students, and athletes aged 5 and up.
Remote Patient Monitoring
Remote patient blood pressure monitoring offers significant benefits, including early detection and management of hypertension, improved patient engagement, and most importantly, healthier and longer lives
for our patients.
LagunaVita provides continuous, accurate data, allowing our cardiologists to make timely interventions and adjustments. This approach reduces the need for frequent in-office visits, enhances healthcare efficiency, and promotes better health outcomes and quality of life, especially for patients with mobility issues who have trouble visiting the office.
