Mental Health and Cardiac Care: A Holistic Approach at Augusta Health

At Augusta Health, we understand that heart health is not just physical—mental well-being is key too. As patients face heart disease, they often struggle with isolation, stress, and anxiety. Tami Collins, NP, shares that emotional support is crucial during this journey.

Dr. Dave Varma, director of cardiology, highlights the importance of having someone to confide in—whether it’s family, friends, or support groups. Augusta Health offers resources to help patients connect with others who understand their challenges, providing a sense of community and reducing isolation.

By addressing both physical and mental health, we ensure our patients receive comprehensive care for a healthier, balanced life. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. #HeartHealth #MentalWellness #AugustaHealth
