As temperatures drop and gatherings with friends and family increase, so does the risk of cold and flu- especially for LVAD patients and those managing advanced heart care.
At ODI, we encourage patients and caregivers to take extra precautions this season:
💧 Prioritize Hygiene: Wash hands frequently and sanitize shared surfaces.
🩺 Stay Up to Date: Discuss vaccinations and preventive steps with your healthcare provider.
🏠 Limit Exposure: Avoid close contact with anyone showing signs of illness.
Simple precautions can go a long way in protecting your health and ensuring peace of mind during this busy time of year.
Stay safe, stay connected, and let’s all work together for a heart-healthy season.
