Support Programs
Heart Failure Clinic
A part of North Colorado Medical Center’s Cardiovascular Institute of North Colorado, The Heart Failure Clinic supports patients and their families with a variety of personalized care and therapy while providing access to research trials.
Cardiac Alert Program
Ambulances that serve North Colorado Medical Center and the Weld County area are equipped with specialized diagnostic equipment.

All meetings will take place in the Cardiovascular Institute Conference Room-3rd floor Area A Across from the Main Lobby elevators. Please enter through the NEW Main Entrance off of 16th Street. Direction signs will be posted.
