Grateful Couple’s Gift Will Advance Heart Care at McLaren Flint

A $6 million gift from Joe and Julie Serra, inspired by Joe's own open heart surgery experience, will transform cardiac care for future patients at McLaren Flint. Joe, a former patient who has endured a heart attack, multiple stents, and quintuple bypass surgery, can attribute his cardiac challenges to genetics despite his healthy lifestyle. Now, he and Julie are advocating for others and investing in the very care that saved his life.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Services

Cardiac rehabilitation helps individuals return to the best possible health in the presence of heart disease. Emphasis is placed on helping participants increase their ability to handle cardiovascular activity and improve awareness of health problems. During cardiac rehabilitation sessions, participants are taught to identify how hard they can exert themselves during exercise and while performing daily activities at home.

If you have had a recent Cardiac Intervention (angioplasty and/or stent placement, heart attack, open heart and/or valve surgery) We would love to help you return to your best health. Call us if you have questions or to schedule an appointment.
