Additional Information

Mended Hearts of Boise will be hosting a free educational event on Understanding and Managing Chronic Heart Failure on Monday, June 1st at St Luke's Meridian on Eagle Rd in the Bannock/Cheyenne rooms (lower level) at 6:30 PM.

This two hour event is open to the public. Mended Hearts is pleased to hold this important event to help the public understand and manage chronic heart failure. The National Institutes of Health reports that 5.8 million Americans have heart failure. Nearly 1 million Americans are hospitalized each year with CHF. Chronic heart failure is a serious health condition that requires medical treatment and lifestyle management so that it doesn't lead to life-threatening conditions.

Dr Andrew Chai of St Luke's Hospital along with a panel of medical professionals from St Alphonsus and Ada County Paramedics will present important information on chronic heart failure including what it is, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and the best options for treatment and management of CHF.
