Cardiology team
















TeamHeart visiting Cardiology team, Marilyn Riley and Dr. Pat Come have not stopped evaluating patients just because our patient selection and surgery is complete. In addition to scanning each patient both pre-op and several times during recovery, they also continue to scan patients for the next team. Communicating information to both the local team and the HHNW is important if patient is to make the consideration for surgery in April. Some individuals have heard we are here and just show up asking for screening...we do our best to work with in their system.

2008 MVR,TVR Erneste Simpunga received a 2 1/2 year follow up echo scan today and received an wonderful report...now off all Lasix, we were able to see him briefly as he took Team Heart President, David Wilson to his village to meet his parents. In his last year at Riveira High School in Senior 6, he prepares for national exam in November 2011. He is all muscle and grades were much improved after the change in grading and administrative structure....and a gentle reminder. Erneste shown here with step-down coordinator Suellen Breakey, is always willing to do translation and visit with the post ops and provide encouragement as few have been as sick as he. Erneste thoroughly enjoyed connecting with TeamHeart friends from his BWH surgery as he visited with the nurses who provided care post-operatively.
