This is a training class that

you cannot miss!

·         Heart assist devices are surgically implanted mechanical pumps that help the heart's ventricle pump blood to the rest of the body. HeartMate II consists of a small, lightweight blood pump implanted in a patient’s chest just below the heart. An electrical cable that powers the blood pump passes through the patient’s skin to an external controller worn around the patient’s waist

·         Patients are residing in our communities that have these devices; are you prepared to manage them?

·         Learn about this equipment before it is too late!
