Home for the Holidays The holidays provide us with a time for reflection on all that is important and meaningful in our lives. As we look back on this most challenging year, we should be mindful of the support and encouragement the residents and businesses of Westmoreland County provided to Excela Health. Given that, we ask that you consider helping our local small businesses and merchants with the purchase of gifts cards from their establishments that can be given to loved ones and friends. The need is great. The options are many. Restaurants. Shops. Services. Owned and operated by those we know. And those who need our help. In this season of giving, let's bring our holiday gestures and generosity home for the holidays.
Excela Health Heart Failure Clinic Approximately 6.5 million people in the United States are diagnosed with heart failure, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Heart failure does not mean the heart has stopped working, it means the heart is not able to adequately pump the appropriate amount of blood and oxygen to support the proper functioning of our bodies. The Excela Health Heart Failure Clinic provides patients with the tools, education and resources needed to combat heart failure, utilizing a comprehensive approach to managing and treating heart failure. Our team of specialized clinicians are fully trained in heart failure management and treatment, guiding patients in every step of the process and giving them peace of mind as they navigate their health care journey. With early intervention, the Excela Health Heart Failure Clinic can help patients gain (or regain) control of their heart failure symptoms and significantly improve their quality of life. To learn more about our outpatient Heart Failure Clinic and how to schedule an appointment, call: (724) 537-1527.
