Heart-Healthy Choices
Prevention is key when it comes to fighting heart disease. That’s why Olathe Health offers a number of programs and resources to make it easy for patients to learn how to make heart-healthy decisions today and monitor their heart health regularly.
For most people, seeing a primary care physician regularly is the first step towards maintaining one’s heart health. The primary care physician performs regular check-ups, orders age-appropriate tests and screenings and discusses ways you can maintain a heart-healthy weight, diet and lifestyle. Thanks to Olathe Health Physicians’ 35 freestanding clinics and more than 100 providers, finding quality primary healthcare is easy and convenient. Many of these clinics offer same-day appointments scheduled by phone or in person.
Olathe Health also offers the following:
