Now that we know that consuming alcohol contributes to seven types of cancers, as in the 2025 surgeon generals warning https://www.hhs.gov/sites/default/files/oash-alcohol-cancer-risk.pdf, we've got to stop putting this flammable liquid you can run your car on in our mouths. We also know it causes stroke, high blood pressure, and atrial fibrillation ('Holiday heart syndrome'). So why not socialize with a virgin mojito and virgin margarita, still laugh with friends, and plan for many years of good health ahead. -Mohit Bhasin MD, Innovation Cardiology

IMPORTANT UPDATE: Effective February 12th, Innovation Cardiology has temporarily relocated to CHKD's Main Campus at 601 Children's Lane on the ground floor. All patient visits will be at this location.

Dear Patients,

An unexpected major water leak has resulted in the evacuation and permanent closure of our office building. We are temporarily relocating our practice to the ground floor of CHKD Children’s Hospital on the same campus, about 300 yards across the lawn from our now closed office. The new address is 601 Childrens Lane, Norfolk, VA 23507.

Parking will be available in the parking garage across from the main entrance of CHKD. Please utilize parking deck A visitor lot. Your parking passes will be validated upon leaving our office. You may also park in the prior lot you utilized.

After entering through the Children’s hospital’s main entrance, you will sign in at the front security desk, be given a mask, and will then be directed to walk down the hall to the left of the elevator. As you pass Starbucks, take a left through the double doors and you'll find our temporary office at the end of hall on the left, past occupational health. To help you find our new location easily, there will be signage posted in the hospital.

This relocation is temporary; we will notify you as soon as we find a permanent office location in Norfolk.

We would like to express our gratitude for your understanding and patience during this challenging time for our practice. Our small team at Innovation Cardiology remains steadfast in our commitment to delivering exceptional care for our nearly 2000 patients. We are diligently working to minimize clinical disruptions to our practice. We look forward to seeing you in our temporary office location.

Warm Regards,

Your Innovation Cardiology Team

Heart Healthy living means much more than medications. It means prevention. Every few years scholars and cardiologists get together to review the science and put out detailed guidelines for what you can do to live a long, healthy life . Our goal is to help you. Please read the attached AHA 2021 Guidelines on our practice website under Education here https://mohitbhasin.md/education/ and try to incorporate as many of the recommendations into your life as possible. Some may be obvious - like eating lots of fruits and vegetables. Others may be a surprise, like avoiding alcohol. Years ago when I was first training as a doctor, we were told to tell patients who don't drink red wine to actually start: That's no longer true. Alcohol is a poison to the heart, can cause atrial fibrillation, strokes, and high blood pressure. As a cardiologist, I gave it completely up and do not miss it. I have a margarita without Tequilla (no salt either!) and can't even tell the difference. Please read the AHA document on our website here at www.mohitbhasin.md under Education and this year try to incorporate as many of these recommendations into your life.
