Heart Disease Patient Education Initiative
The Midwest Cardiology Research Foundation and HMP Communications are launching an educational initiative to inform the general public about heart disease. This grassroots endeavor aims to increase patient awareness of preventative measures, alleviate patient anxiety, and assist physicians with the allimportant task of communicating with patients.
The initiative strives to educate patients and lay caregivers through nationwide distribution of Learn About Your Heart...Made Simple, a comprehensive sourcebook for heart and vascular disease patients. Learn About Your Heart...Made Simple also focuses on lifestyle aspects such as prevention, post-procedure rehabilitation, and diet -- valuable information for both patients and family members.
For the initiative to succeed, healthcare professionals and hospitals across the United States need to purchase bulk copies of the book and distribute them to heart patients and their families. The first edition’s print run of 50,000 copies was depleted within 6 weeks due to heavy demand, precipitating a much more ambitious effort to expand its reach nationwide.
To support the initiative and ensure that each participant can help the greatest number of people, Learn About Your Heart...Made Simple has been priced affordably at $7.99, with a volume discount price of $6.00 for 100 copies or more. An investment of $600 allows healthcare professionals to reach 100 patients, as well as to play a significant role in an endeavor to improve the health and well-being of millions of patients.
Reports on the progress of the Heart Disease Patient Education Initiative will be published periodically in HMP Communications journals. Information will also be available online and at various trade shows in the cardiovascular community.
