The Women's Heart and Vascular Program at Lawrence + Memorial Hospital provides screening, education, and treatment for women at risk for, or with established heart disease. Our approach to care is focused on the unique healthcare needs of women.
Heart disease remains the number one killer of women in the United States, and there is a great need for specialized care directed at women's cardiac needs.
As part of the Women's Heart and Vascular Program at Yale New Haven, there is close collaboration with experts in behavioral health, diabetes, exercise physiology, gynecology, nutrition, obstetrics, sleep medicine, and smoking cessation. This multidisciplinary approach ensures comprehensive and personalized care for each woman.
New patients will complete a questionnaire at their first appointment to identify individual risk factors and symptoms for heart disease.

An individualized care plan will then be made, which may include:
