We are so thankful to have the Dye's as part of our Livewell family. If you haven't met them yet, say hello to them the next time you see them!

"Tommy was recommended to Cardiac Rehab due to heart issues but he really didn't want to do it. After trying to convince him, he finally said he would go if I went. So we started Cardiac Rehab at Livewell together at the end of February 2024. We found out that we love coming to Cardiac Rehab. They have wonderful staff, which helps in any way you need. We have noticed that our strength and stamina are much improved.

Tommy also need education about diabetes. Se, we went to that class together and learned so much helpful information. We have also been to class for stress management and a nutrition class. These were so helpful in managing our health and wellness. We have been able to keep Tommy's diabetes under control and keep him from having to be on insulin because of the Livewell Center.

We have met so many nice people at Livewell, both staff and patients. They have become like our extended family. We notice when someone misses workouts and ask after them and they do the same for us. We continue to come to Livewell to work out three days a week to both stay in shape and visit the community here. We can't say enough about how much Livewell has helped us to stay healthy and independent." Kathy Dye

We’re proud to announce that Dr. Mark Borganelli, MD, FACC, recently performed the first cardiac ablation in Mississippi using the new OPAL™️ heart rhythm treatment system, right here at Forrest General. This cutting-edge technology allows doctors to map the heart and treat atrial fibrillation (AFib) more precisely and safely, all with one catheter.

What does this mean for patients?
✅ Faster, more efficient procedures
✅ Lower risk of complications
✅ Better outcomes for those living with AFib

As the number of people affected by AFib continues to rise, we’re committed to offering the most advanced care available, close to home. https://hubs.ly/Q03zDs9h0
