We offer a multidisciplinary approach to prevent or slow the progression of cardiovascular disease, including the following outpatient services:

  • Anticoagulation Clinics – Conveniently located throughout Manatee & Sarasota counties, our outpatient clinics help patients at any stage of anticoagulation therapy safely manage their anticoagulation medications, including warfarin sodium, Coumadin and Jantoven, increase the amount of time their blood tests remain in the appropriate range and help manage conditions that require the use of short-term or long-term anticoagulants, including atrial fibrillation, mechanical heart valves, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism or other forms of blood clots.

  • Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation – Whether patients have had a heart attack or heart transplant, asthma or emphysema, our Cardiovascular and Pulmonary specialists help improve their health with monitored exercise training and lifestyle education.
