If you are living with some form of heart disease, you are probably working
hard to make changes -- lifestyle, diet and nutrition, for example - that will
help you live as long as you can and feel as well as you can. There are many
dependable resources to help individuals with heart disease and their loved
ones, which are available through Christiana Care and elsewhere in the
community. These resources range from rehabilitation and education services, to
support groups, to programs for those with congestive heart failure.
