Mariann R. – Cardiac Patient

Mariann R. has been a nurse for 48 years. "I think people assume that when you work in health care you know everything about medicine,” she said. “But you don’t. When I went to the Melbourne ER with fatigue and shortness of breath, I had no idea I was on the verge of having a heart attack. The cardiac cath team and cardiologist there worked quickly to open my arteries. I know that this level of care, along with a great cardiac rehab program, is what got me back to doing what I love. I wouldn’t go anywhere else for my heart."
