MEET THE MHG PHYSICIAN EXTENDERS, AN EXTENSION OF YOUR HEART CARE TEAM!

Beaumont Michigan Heart Group would like to introduce you to our physician extenders.  They are a critical part of the Cardiology team at Michigan Heart Group.  The Physician Extenders work hand and hand with the physicians, making decisions on the best treatment options for each patient on a case by case basis.  All of our extenders round on the weekends as well as work in the hospital during the week.  Most of our extenders also have have office hours and we encourage our patients to feel comfortable following up with them in the office.  Our medical decisions are often a team approach that each extender is a part of and they are often at the forefront of each decision that is made.

The practice is made up of Interventionist (plumbers) and Electrophysiologist (electricians).  The plumbers are located at 4600 Investment Drive, #200, while the Electricians are in the building next door at 4550 Investment Dr., #250.  In addition Michigan Heart Group has two satellite offices to accommodate our out of town patients.  One in Macomb at 15959 Hall Road, #304, Macomb and another in Novi at Ten Mile and Haggerty, 39500 Ten Mile, #103, Novi. Each extender is trained and familiar with both specialties however all but one currently they only see patients at our 2 main locations.

Each month we will be focusing on one extenders achievements, this month we recognize Cheryl Vincent.

Cheryl Vincent, MSN, A.P.R.N:  She started in August 1993, just 2 years after the practice was opened.  Cheryl received her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Maryland and a Master of Science in Nursing from Wayne State.  She is licensed by the American Nurses Credentialing Center as a Nurse Practitioner. Cheryl's focus is on risk factor management and patient education.  She works at Michigan Heart Rhythm Group with office hours all day Thursday-Friday, however you may see her rounding at Troy Beaumont Hospital as she assist the physicians with this task both during the week and on weekends.  Cheryl is the veteran of the group, having been here the longest she is very familiar with almost all of our patients.  You may not know her; however she will almost always know you.
