This clinic was one of 12 sites internationally that first proved the link between cholesterol and heart disease. The clinic measures cholesterol and other fats in blood samples and uses the results to design an individualized program for each patient, including diet, exercise and medication recommendations. Patients are given information and support throughout the course of their treatment. Family and patients' regular physicians are encouraged to be involved.
Patients also have the option of participating in center-sponsored research projects.
You may make an appointment yourself or be referred by your physician. The cost of clinic visits is often covered by insurance. You can discuss this with the clinic coordinator. Patients are seen on referral for consultation and care on Tuesday mornings from 7 a.m. to noon. All rights reserved.
