Why I Chose Health Care

Cardiology is an exciting and rewarding profession because it allows us to use our knowledge and technical expertise to help patients survive acute life-threatening illnesses while also caring for them over many years. We focus together on long-term monitoring and treatment, disease prevention, and healthy lifestyles, enabling patients to optimize both longevity and quality of life.
