Jo Ann Green:
A Legacy of Care, A Vision for Cardiac Resilience
Greetings, I'm Jo Ann Green, a Board-Certified Health Coach (NBC-HWC) and a Doctorally Prepared (DNP) Registered Nurse, proudly graduated from Case Western Reserve University. My extensive career in healthcare has provided me with a profound understanding of the intricate challenges individuals face, particularly those navigating the aftermath of a cardiac event. My mission is to leverage this unique blend of expert clinical knowledge and holistic coaching expertise to guide you and your family toward optimal heart health and a life of renewed purpose.
A Personal Mission: Navigating Cardiac Care with Empathy and Expertise
My dedication to cardiac health coaching and care management is deeply personal. I witnessed firsthand the immense challenges of navigating advanced cardiac disease when my own father, after cardiac bypass surgery and subsequent stent placements, progressed to end-stage heart failure requiring extensive care. Despite my background as a Registered Nurse, coordinating his complex needs with my siblings—from medication adherence and provider's appointments to ensuring his physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being—while also supporting my mother with her progressive illness, demanded an extraordinary amount of energy and time, particularly as I was living out of town. This profound experience illuminated the critical gap between medical treatment and holistic, coordinated care for individuals and their families. It is this understanding, forged through personal experience and professional expertise, that drives my commitment to offering comprehensive health coaching and nursing support, empowering you and your loved ones to navigate life after a cardiac event with confidence and peace of mind.
