DispatchHealth caters to people living with heart failure.

We bring advanced medical care directly to you

Coping with heart failure presents unique challenges. Not only are heart failure symptoms difficult to deal with on their own, but they can also combine to weaken the immune system, potentially creating additional health issues for you or your loved one. During this time, it’s important for you or your loved one to focus on health, family, and overall well being. DispatchHealth makes it easier to do this by eliminating the many stressors involved with traveling to crowded, inconvenient, and germ-filled urgent care clinics and emergency rooms when non-life-threatening heart failure-related health concerns arise. In-home care is particularly beneficial to people living with heart failure, as the combination of symptoms from chronic heart disease can weaken the immune system and increase the risk of catching illnesses from others. Some of these chronic symptoms that can make people more susceptible to other illnesses include lower extremity swelling, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations. In-home medical care is a safer option than traditional urgent care clinics and emergency rooms for people living with heart failure who don’t want to risk further illness due to a compromised immune system. 

When medical care is needed to treat an illness, bandage or clean a wound, or address the ongoing symptoms of heart disease, simply give DispatchHealth a call or request care online or through our app. We’ll promptly send a board-certified medical team – which will include a nurse practitioner or physician assistant and an EMT-level trained DispatchHealth medical technician (DHMT), along with an ER physician who is available by phone – to provide assistance in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
