MEET OUR MHG PHYSICIAN EXTENDERS, AN EXTENSION OF YOUR HEART CARE TEAM! THIS MONTH WE RECOGNIZE MARIANN GRAHAM

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 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 where Howard is now seeing patients on Wednesdays.  The other is in Novi at Ten Mile and Haggerty, 39500 Ten Mile, #103, Novi, Michelle is seeing patients there once a month as well.  Each extender is trained and familiar with both specialties and you can find one of our extenders available most days at both our main campuses in Troy.

Each month we will be focusing on one extenders achievements, this month we recognize Mariann Graham

Mariann Graham, R.N., BSN: Mariann joined Michigan Heart Group in March 1997, and we are thankful she did.  Mariann has a Bachelor of Nursing from Mercy; she has 25 years of Cardiac care experience and is the heart of the Michigan Heart Group team.  She is the director of the Physician Extenders, the Medical Assistants and Nursing.  She keeps the whole boat running and running smoothly.  If someone is sick... Mariann steps in, if someone is running late... Mariann steps in, if someone needs to leave...Mariann steps in.  You will most likely see Mariann at either of the hospitals rounding.  She doesn't have office hours but may be seen helping a physician running behind by seeing you before they step in.
