    Hello Allied Professionals!

    I would like to echo, Dr. Mina Chung's recent message to the HRS membership regarding the initiatives that we have been working on to strengthen our patient and caregiver's education regarding heart rhythm topics.  It's very exciting that part of the  HRS strategic plan is focusing on patient facing endeavors.  You will have received an email to take a short survey regarding patient and caregiver needs and I encourage you all to complete this. We know that Allied Professionals team members are critical in the patient and family journey and they look to us for support and teaching!

    Here is the link to the survey, and also some helpful sources to follow to see and support these efforts!

    1. Complete this brief survey from the Patient & Caregiver Committee to help us understand how members like you utilize patient-facing education and where UpBeat could provide additional support.
    2. Follow and engage with UpBeat on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X.
    3. Subscribe to UpBeat TV.
    4. Sign up for UpBeat emails.
    5. Share UpBeat.org with your patients, caregivers, and professional network.

    We all welcome your suggestions as we grow this program.  This has been an amazing collaboration across many HRS committees  to help our patients understand and manage their heart rhythm disorder. 

    Grateful for your support - 

    Jill Boone Schaeffer MSN, CRNP, CCDS, CEPS, FHRS

    Incoming Chair, Patient and Caregivers Committee
