Shelley Lockard, RN, BSN, physician marketing coordinator at Indiana (PA) Regional Medical Center (IRMC), first encountered the HeartCaring® program, which she now coordinates, by finding a note on her desk telling her that it was to be one of the facility’s newest programs. A nurse with clinical background in cardiac care, Lockard was charged with finding a way to maximize the potential of the women’s cardiac health education program (see the sidebar below for more details on HeartCaring).
Participation in the HeartCaring program, a cardiovascular extension of the Spirit of Women® national program, was intended to allow IRMC to provide evidence-based cardiovascular education to its community members through many consumer events. Since initiating the program in 2008, IRMC has designated 12 HeartCaring physicians and their office staffs.
