The St. Luke Hospitals have opened the Cardiac Risk Reduction Center. We are enhancing Northern Kentucky’s first Congestive Heart Failure program so patients can get a full scale of cardiac risk reduction and treatment management programs, all at one location. Our services are all coordinated by our registered nurses and pharmacists who specialize in these areas. We will collaborate with physicians throughout the treatment, and ensure that they are kept up-to-date with their patients’ progress.
