The Congestive Heart Failure Service Center

The Congestive Heart Failure Service Center at St. Mary's Regional Medical Center is your greatest resource for helping you deal with both the physical and emotional impact of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). We believe that patients who understand their condition and participate in their own care feel better, and the need for hospitalization is reduced.

Northwest Oklahoma’s Congestive Heart Failure Center delivers a multidisciplinary approach to the management of Congestive Heart Failure. In partnership with your primary care physician, our team, consisting of a cardiologist, nurses, chaplains, dieticians and exercise specialists, who work to improve the length and quality of your life by improving the performance of your heart and increasing your knowledge of CHF.

Equally as important, this unique approach also addresses issues often accompanying CHF—personal concerns, financial problems, emotional pain,spiritual questions or family problems.

During your visits to the Congestive Heart Failure Service Center, you will receive daily educational sessions and possibly infusion therapy. The nurse will perform a physical assessment, draw blood tests as needed and if necessary administer intravenous medications to strengthen your heart.

Education is a crucial component of this program and is emphasized throughout your participation. Time will be dedicated to teaching you and your family about the best management of CHF. Written and audio materials, group and one-on-one counseling will be used in these educational sessions.
