Making the connection

This next issue of IMPULSE is an exciting examination of “connections;” the ways we are all dependent on the inter-connectivity of the systems that sustain us as well as the ways that they impact our lives.

ICE itself is a study in connection. Just as our cardiovascular system connects to our respiratory system and our muscles connect to our bones, so do the disciplines of ICE connect with one another to impact the overall health of our patients.

We offer our patients everything from Cardiovascular to Primary Care to the highly specialized discipline of Vein Care and Limb Salvage. Why? Because it is all connected.

We Are All Connected goes a little deeper into that idea by examining the ways speci c connections can have an impact on our health as a whole. We lookt cardiovascular health and how it connects to primary care. We also look at health and the particular ways it can have a surprising impact on our over health.

When you are through with this IMPULSE our goal is for you to have lear n a little something about yourself, your health, and about how you are only strong as your weakest connection.

I hope that you enjoy this issue of IMPULSE as much as we all enjoyed bri n it to you. As always, I am so grateful to the physicians and staff at ICE for helping us all make a real difference by making connections with the patie and the people in our lives.
