Dr. Chileshe Price shares her commitment to advancing cardiac care through innovation.
“You have a physical heart and you have an emotional heart, and the 2 are deeply interconnected. It’s part of my job to understand that,” said cardiologist Chileshe Price, MD.
That deep commitment to her patients has been a constant for Dr. Price throughout her career.
One of the efforts she’s most proud of is Kaiser Permanente’s virtual cardiac rehabilitation program. Patients recovering from cardiac events receive a wearable fitness tracker that allows their care teams to remotely monitor their physical activity and heart rate. More than 80% of participants complete the program, compared to a national average of less than 50% for hospital-based cardiac rehab programs.
“We’ve managed to heal and recover people in the home,” said Dr. Price. “This particular program I’ve only been able to do at Kaiser Permanente.”
