Heart Matters

In this episode of Heart Matters, Matt Ducsik, Associate Vice President of Clinical Institutes at Providence, is joined by Jim Walsh, MD who specializes in Addiction Recovery Services at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, and James Brevig, MD, FACS, a Cardiac and  Cardiothoracic Surgeon at Providence Cardiac Surgery in Everett, Washington.
Our panel discusses the important topic of how we treat the whole person when caring for cardiac patients, especially those who are poor and vulnerable. In this case, we will be talking about a specific heart condition that disproportionately affects patients with substance use disorder, many of whom are without stable housing or access to other basic health services.
