You can print all of your information in a convenient booklet to keep with you, or share with your physician. Track important dates in the online calendar and save pages from Mercy's web site that are important to you.

HeartCaring
HeartCaring is a physician-based clinical outreach program with a focus on a gender-specific approach to cardiovascular disease.

Certified HeartCaring hospitals and physician practices subscribe to a set of standards acknowledging and practicing a gender-based approach to heart disease.
Goals of HeartCaring:
- To recognize that women are different in their heart healthcare needs.
- To assist women in making positive healthy choices to prevent coronary heart disease.
- To educate women about symptoms of heart disease.
