AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION'S ANNUAL HEART WALK

Cardiovascular Consultants of Maine is a proud supporter of the American Heart Association’s annual Heart Walk. Last May, more than 30 staff, physicians, and their families participated in the 3 ½ mile walk around Portland’s Back Bay. Other staff members distributed water at a Hydration Station. Despite the rainy weather, this event was a success and helped to raise thousands for cardiovascular disease prevention.

GOLF TOURNAMENTS

Several of our physicians participated in golf tournaments this summer to raise money for cardiac services throughout the state of Maine. In May, 4 CCM physicians played at the Waterville Country Club to benefit Maine General Medical Center’s cardiology department. In June, CCM participated in a tournament at Sunday River Country Club to benefit Stephens Memorial Hospital.

WOMEN'S WELLNESS EXPO

Last May, Cardiovascular Consultants was featured at the Women’s Wellness Expo at Goodall Hospital in Sanford, Maine. The event was attended by more than 160 venders and thousands of women from all over New England. A team of 10 employees from CCM staffed a booth at the event. They took the blood pressures and oxygen levels of attendees and also provided them with information for cardiovascular disease prevention. Research Coordinator Brenda Glasgow, R.N. also on prevention of heart disease in women spoke during the event.

TAKE IT TO HEART

In August, an Open House was held at the Scarborough office to kick off the start of a new patient education program. Cardiovascular Consultants has partnered with Hannaford Supermarkets and their Guiding Stars program to encourage patients to take control of cardiovascular disease. Patients were given toolkits filled with heart-healthy recipes, shopping guides, and a wealth of information on cardiovascular disease awareness and prevention.

WMTW COMMERCIALS

Cardiovascular Consultants worked with WMTW Channel 8 to produce educational slots which aired during the month of February to promote cardiovascular disease awareness. 4 of our physicians participated in the filming.
