A STORY FROM OUR AGENCY:
Barb* had been feeling ill for two weeks but didn’t feel comfortable going to the Emergency Room. She had used other services at CenterPointe and knew she could trust the staff, as she had always felt heard and never judged.
Barb was seen by our primary care provider, Dr. Buffy, who assessed and diagnosed her with congestive heart failure. After reassurance that CenterPointe would be with her every step of the way, Barb felt comfortable going to the ER.
Dr. Buffy checked in regularly with Barb’s Emergency Room physician, who informed her that had Barb not been assessed, she may not have woken up the next morning. Barb is doing much better and continues to meet with Dr. Buffy regularly to monitor her heart.
