Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center Adds Advanced Cardiology Services to Continuum of Care



NATICK, Ma., (March 25, 2014) – Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center is pleased to announce the addition of advanced cardiology services to its top-notch continuum of care.

Mary Ann Morse welcomes consulting cardiologist Dr. Nicole Orr of Vohra Cardiology Services to their staff. Dr. Orr will oversee cardiac care at the facility, making weekly rounds and providing further visits and consults as-needed, to help further enhance patient care at Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center. Residents will be assessed for signs and symptoms related to cardiac disease and patients with cardiovascular disease will be managed and monitored. Additionally, Dr. Orr will interface with patient’s primary care physicians and maintain communication with community cardiologists, providing detailed notes and recommendations.

Research has shown that in-house specialty service programs, such as this, are greatly beneficial to the well-being of residents and are a valuable asset in enhancing the coordination of care.

Dr. Orr received her medical degree from Drexel University College of Medicine and specializes in cardiovascular disease and nuclear cardiology. She focuses on the needs of patients during post-acute care, as well as patients in long-term stays at skilled nursing facilities.

In addition to their collaboration with Dr. Orr, Mary Ann Morse’s nursing staff are also receiving advanced education in cardiac rehabilitation including atrial fibrillation, cardiac pharmacology and EKG mastery. Additionally, Mary Ann Morse’s rehab department has begun an evidenced based educational series on management of patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders.

“We are excited to offer new and expanded cardiology services to our residents. Our facility is committed to staying on the cutting edge of patient care,” stated Lisa Kubiak, Executive Director of Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center.
