The cardiovascular system is at the center of our health. It nourishes and impacts each and every other system in our body. The vessels of our circulation carry the very life-force of our being to every part of our body, the “vessel” that each one of us uses to live, love, and pursue happiness through each day of life.At Vessel Health, we take a comprehensive approach to well-being, focusing on the cardiovascular system. We are committed to optimizing not just the vessels of our circulation, but the “vessels” of our beings. We have developed consultative services, customized programs, and a comprehensive approach to health that will enable you to manage, treat, extend, and improve your life. Vessel Health founder Dr. Harvey White has spent years treating and counseling patients on cardiac issues throughout New Mexico and the Southwest.
For the past 35 years, Dr. White has dedicated himself to direct patient care, clinical research initiatives, and leadership activities designed to improve the cardiovascular health care system. Dr. White considers Vessel Health to be the culmination of a career in cardiac medicine. Grounded in extensive training and experience in interventional cardiology (the technique of coronary angioplasty and stent placement), Dr. White has concluded that we, as individuals and as a society, need to enhance our focus on prevention and a proactive approach to circulation and personal wellness. Vessel Health is an expression of that philosophy.

I was referred to Vessel Health because of very high cholesterol and bad side effects from statins. I got so much more than help with that condition. I prefer to find natural cures for medical conditions rather than resorting to pharmaceuticals with all their side effects. The philosophy and programs at Vessel Health fit this goal perfectly.
The classes at Vessel Health are a wonderful opportunity to learn about ways to mitigate health conditions and take control of your life. I have attended yoga classes and find yoga incredibly relaxing in addition to its strengthening and flexibility benefits. I now have a daily yoga practice at home and attend classes at Vessel Health when I can. Through other classes I have learned about what causes some of my conditions and things I can do to improve my health. I am now mostly vegan and feeling better than I have in many years. My favorite class at Vessel Health is the morning meditation. It’s wonderful to start the day with a positive outlook. The group who attend are supportive and full of interesting and helpful information.
I don’t know how I would have gotten through the Covid lockdowns and my husband’s death without it. I feel lucky to have found Vessel Health and to get to participate in programs offered there. When I tell friends in other cities about the classes I attend, they all say they wish their doctors offered such programs.
My journey at VH began February 2021 in the walking group with Julie McGarahan. I was hooked. I soon added meditation, sit strong & yoga (at least 3 per week). I have severe osteoarthritis - stiffness & pain. Vessel Health's Lifestyle program allows me greater mobility, strength & stamina. Starting each weekday morning with Denise’s meditation balances me mentally with positive thoughts & good intentions.After 1 year of my dedication to this routine, my massage therapist of 15 years said to me, “I don’t know what you’re doing, but keep it up.” She said my musculature had changed & was stronger & more stable. My Body, Mind & Spirit is supported by what I do at VH.Without VH Lifestyle program, I know, simply getting out of bed would be difficult. I know I am more flexible & stronger. Just Do It
I first started working with Denise about a year ago and was especially interested in her knowledge and expertise in Ayurvedic Medicine. I count on her wisdom of practices, herbs and nutrition to best balance my mind and body's needs. I love Denise's meditations. They are the best way to start my day. I always know that if I start the day with her meditation, my day will go smoothly no matter what comes my way. They always help me get grounded for the course of my day. Some meditations help me with things I was going through the day before or at that moment. Other times, I enjoy her meditation as a pleasant exercise. Then later that very day something happens where my mind goes back to her words and I apply the visualizations she provided that morning without me knowing then how much I would need them so much a few hours later. At times, I have gone in with some pain. I work through the meditation with Denise and at the end I realize that at some point, the pain disappeared. We have a really nice group of members who support each other. We start with updates and conversation, then go into the meditation and Denise always ends with an affirmation. It's a wonderful experience Denise creates each day that is a major part of my supportive health practice.
