The Preventive Cardiology Clinic here at the Lynn Women's Institute
It stayed open throughout the start and the entire COVID-19 pandemic.

And more and more I began to see patients who were developing symptoms or heart-related symptoms as far as chest discomfort or shortness of breath a few weeks after their initial infection.

I've had some patients say they may have some body aches or headaches or nasal congestion, chest pain ongoing fatigue, or decreased endurance or inability to get back to their same level of activity.

And we wanted to be able to support the patients in the community, as far as answering their
questions, their concerns and expediting their workup regarding a heart evaluation.

From there, there's the discussion about any additional labs that may need to be done.

And then also we may consider additional imaging either of the heart and or lungs which we can coordinate here at the Lynn Women's Institute or within our Boca Regional Community.

Our clinic there's one number to call as far as for the COVID-19 clinics, but then also for any
cardiology related questions to our clinic that is (561) 955-2131 that's (561) 955-2131.

Our schedulers and our team they are definitely aware of all the services that we offer and I'm always directly available as far as helping with the triage and also it's open as far as to providers being
able to reach out to me personally too.
