When was your last cardiology screening?
Like most of us, a trip to your primary care physician or cardiologist for a screening test may not be top of mind. Indeed, looking out for a condition like peripheral artery disease or PAD – something you may not know much about – is likely lower on the list than even a dreaded colonoscopy or stress test. However...

It's National Mammography Day - and although our practice focuses on your heart and vascular system, we recognize the overwhelming importance of early detection. So today, we remind you that mammograms save lives.

Have some child-appropriate books you'd love to share? Brianna Farrugia is collecting books at our office and around the community as a service project. Will you help?

Brianna is in 7th grade at St. Leo the Great (also a book drop-off point) and is working with the nonprofit Bridge of Books, based in Atlantic Highlands, to collect gently used books for kids aged 0-18. The service project is part of her preparation for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Brianna chose this particular project with the hope of getting kids off electronics and back to reading. After learning about a school in Kentucky that banned cell phones, which saw a 67% increase in students checking out library books, she knew what she wanted to do.

Thank you for your support!
