Welcome to the Heart Failure Program at the Stead Heart & Vascular
Center at Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center (PVHMC). Serving the Pomona
Valley since 1903, our program is dedicated to helping patients manage
and recover from heart failure. We work closely with your primary physician
to provide the best possible care, treatment, and education tailored to
your needs.
Heart failure is not a prison sentence. Many people with heart failure lead happy, fulfilled lives by paying attention to their bodies and taking care of themselves. Through healthy lifestyle changes and proper medication, you can manage your heart failure and lead an active life.
Our program specializes in education and peer support for those living with heart failure. We aim to equip patients to live a healthy, active life by effectively managing their heart disease. Our support groups provide mutual support and advice to manage the aspects of heart failure that are controllable. By understanding your disease and health, we can help you build routines that result in the highest quality of life.
The Stead Heart & Vascular Center at PVHMC combines state-of-the-art technology with highly-trained physicians and compassionate staff. Our center has won numerous awards for our high level of care and compliance, recognized nationally for excellence. Our team works diligently to ensure that you receive the best possible care and support throughout your journey with heart failure.
Since heart failure, like diabetes or arthritis, is a chronic disease, our goal is to manage the disease and its symptoms. Although some days are more difficult than others, staying successful in controlling the disease means not being overwhelmed or discouraged by day-to-day changes. The best way is to notice these changes in signs and symptoms and address them promptly.
We offer a wide variety of resources and information designed for you. Our Heart Failure Education and Awareness group learns about the many simple aspects of heart failure that are easily controlled. Working together, we can better meet your needs and manage your heart failure. Our goal is for you to be comfortable in your daily activities and enjoy life.
There are many choices when it comes to your care, but there’s only one Trusted Source™! We continue to offer one of the most complete lines of heart disease, vascular disease, and stroke services in Los Angeles and San Bernardino Counties.
