    Ornish Reversal Program at SMH

    Coconut Telegraph

    SRQ DAILY

    SATURDAY JAN 30, 2016 |

    Sarasota Memorial Health Care System is now offering the Ornish Reversal Program, a proven lifestyle approach to reverse heart disease without medications or surgery. Participants enroll in a 9-week program featuring 18 four-hour sessions with a group of 12-15 people. The program is based on four key elements: a low-fat, plant-based diet; 30 minutes of daily exercise; stress management; and social support. It has been so effective in undoing years of damage to the heart that Medicare and some major insurances now cover the Ornish program under a new benefit category, intensive cardiac rehabilitation. Some conditions that may qualify you for the Ornish program through your insurance include: heart disease, heart or valve surgery, angioplasty and stent placement. The next group begins its first session March 15. For information or to enroll, call (941) 917-6139.

    Give Gratitude, Grateful Patient Program

    If you have been a patient at Sarasota Memorial, perhaps you can look back to when the care you received exceeded your expectations. Maybe it was kind words from a doctor or nurse, the patience of a technologist who took the time to explain a procedure, or a volunteer, housekeeper or food service
