February is Heart Health Awareness month. This episode is a replay featuring a very special guest, Devyn's mother. They're discussing heart failure from patient and provider perspectives. A note from Devyn: My mother passed away peacefully on February 8, 2021 surrounded by family. She wanted to talk about heart failure in hopes that it would help someone else to identify the problem earlier, get necessary care, and slow its progression. She listened to every single episode and gave her feedback helping me keep the conversation digestible. It was my honor to have her as a guest. She will be forever loved and missed. Rest in Paradise Mommy. See you someday.
