Improving Women's Cardiac Care
Dr. Sareen developed a healthcare model at Ascension Health System that addresses cardiovascular disease in women. "Heart disease claims more women's lives than all forms of cancer combined, yet it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in female patients," states Dr. Sareen. Her program expanded from one Michigan clinic to six locations with Ascension Henry Ford Health Systems. She is now at Ascension St Thomas Hospital Tennessee, offering virtual support to international healthcare providers. The expansion reflects clinical success and increasing demand for specialized women's cardiac care services.
The program combines screening, specialized care, and health education, providing comprehensive cardiovascular care to thousands of women. This integrated approach includes risk assessments, preventive care strategies, and ongoing monitoring of cardiovascular health indicators. The program also provides targeted interventions for high-risk patients and maintains continuous communication between specialists and primary care providers.
Healthcare Delivery and Community Results
The program identifies and treats women-specific cardiovascular risks through targeted interventions. "Our model addresses gaps in healthcare delivery by bringing specialized cardiac care to communities where it's needed most," Dr. Sareen explains. Virtual educational capabilities connect healthcare providers globally, enabling knowledge sharing and improving patient outcomes.
Collaborations with local healthcare providers and community organizations create effective healthcare networks that enhance patient outcomes and preventive care. The program's educational initiatives reach healthcare providers and community leaders, extending its impact beyond direct patient care. These partnerships facilitate regular health screenings, community education programs, and coordinated care delivery. The initiative also includes professional development programs for healthcare providers, focusing on women-specific cardiac care protocols and early intervention strategies.
Dr Sareen emphasizes, “I must congratulate Ascension Health System for prioritizing heart health issues among women and their leadership for promoting the cause. This is a call for action for all health systems globally. It is about time!”
Program data indicates a significant impact in the community with detection rates and treatment outcomes. The model effectively addresses healthcare disparities and improves access to specialized cardiac care in traditionally underserved communities.
"Dr. Nishtha Sareen's program shows practical innovation in specialized healthcare delivery," Alex Sterling, the Global Recognition Awards spokesperson, notes. "Her approach to combining clinical care with community access provides a useful model for healthcare systems to improve women's cardiovascular health outcomes. The award recognizes the program's growth, reach, and methods for delivering specialized cardiac care to women. The documented results in improving patient outcomes and expanding access to care demonstrate the program's significant impact on women's cardiovascular health."
