Frequently Asked Questions
Which patients should be referred to Vessel Health for evaluation and care?
Vessel Health specializes in the treatment and prevention of circulatory health conditions. Services are offered to specifically address suspected coronary, peripheral vascular and vein disorders. Individuals who are in a pre-clinical state with incompletely defined and managed cardiovascular risk are particularly sought.
What makes Vessel Health a unique cardiology practice?
Vessel Health differentiates itself in the market place both through its emphasis or cardiovascular prevention and risk mitigation and also through its use of complementary or integrative medical modalities to achieve vascular health. Above and beyond specific disease state services, Vessel offers programmatic evaluation and longitudinal support of individual’s therapeutic health and lifestyle intervention.
Does insurance cover all of Vessel’s services and programs?
Given the condition of our insurance system, financial support for prevention services is limited. Vessel Health has therefore defined a menu of prevention and health promotion programs that address patients needs but which require individual financial support. Vessel Health believes that there is a strong “value proposition” for it offering which will be attractive to many clients.
How do the programs that Vessel Health offers differ from advising an individual to attend a local gym?
Foremost, Vessel Health builds its program upon certain values. Building on a focus on circulatory health, Vessel stresses individual empowerment on personal responsibility. Following a sophisticated risk and fitness evaluation, clients are provided with personalized prescriptive goals and are followed closely over time. Moreover, in contrast to traditional fitness centers, Vessel emphasizes both emotional and nutritional health in addition to enhanced physical capacities.
