Cardiovascular Disease Collaborative
Congratulations to Mike Holliday and the full Grant Team! The team is expanding their Cardiovascular Disease Collaborative work and will focus on improving the care of diabetes among our medicaid population in Ohio.
Grant Team: Lauri Nandyal, Mary Beth Vonder Meulen, Dan Hargraves, Harini Pallerla, Jacki Knapke, Alexandra Burnett, Barb Tobias, and Soni Regan
The Cardiovascular Disease Collaborative is a group effort among Ohio’s medical schools and the Ohio Department of Medicaid. Their goal is to improve the cardiovascular health of all Ohioans and reduce disparities among our state’s vulnerable populations. This year’s work will emphasize improving diabetes care. Activities will include a diabetes quality improvement project among several Medicaid practices in Ohio, including 3 primary care practices within UC Health.
We are so proud of Dr. Puthota! Dr. Puthota and cardiologist Dr. Santosh Menon collaborate in caring for patients with heart failure in the South Asian Cardiovascular Clinic. This clinic, only the 2nd in the country, screens and targets preventative interventions specifically for the growing South Asian American population in the greater Cincinnati area. There is a growing urge to uniquely improve the cardiovascular risk of South Asian Americans who are 4x more likely to develop heart disease 10 years earlier than their peers. On November 2nd this South Asian Cardiovascular Clinic held its first lecture series to the public. Dr. Puthota utilized her combined family medicine/psychiatry training to serve as consulting psychiatrist evaluating unique risk factors for mental illness in this population.
