Personal Statement: A caring heart is the very root of the success of the Making A Difference Heart to Heart consulting group located in Lafayette, Louisiana. Healthcare leadership, staff, sponsors and consumers believe that women have the greatest effect on the end-result of every community's healthcare decisions today and for future generations. Being chosen to contribute to the success of this mission provides me with, again, another opportunity to enhance, improve, and maintain the health and quality of life of all women today, a truism to which we all subscribe. Our group is made up of two women who are, mothers, daughters, sisters, best friends, and wives who understand the unique demands and stress placed on today's women. As one of these women, as a health care provider, and as a believer in the importance of our mission and program I have found a way to care for somebody else - what a wonderful way to succeed.

nationwide December 2003 I thought the preceptorship provided a terrific insight to how a programmatic approach to cardiovascular care in women benefits hospitals, practitioners, and, most importantly, patients. Women's lives are more complicated today and packaging this type of program eliminates some of the barriers that may limit accessibility for many women patients. Also, the development of site specific projection data makes "selling" the program to administrators easier.
