Sandy DiCrisci
Sand DiCrisci found herself in Oviedo Medical Center Emergency Room after experiencing chest pains, and knew where to seek expertise from family experience.
Sandy was no stranger to heart disease — her granddaughter was born with half a heart. So she has seen the importance of clinical advancements in cardiac care for all ages. But she never expected to be a patient herself. When she began experiencing chest pains she knew from experience she needed to quickly seek the support of cardiac experts, and she found the care she needed at her hometown hospital — Oviedo Medical Center.
"When I arrived at the ER, the team there was clearly concerned about my symptoms," Sandy said. "They made me feel comfortable and confident in addressing my symptoms, diagnosing my condition and immediately implementing a plan of care. It was a wonderful experience, and today I am back to work and enjoying my family."
Sandy recently celebrated her good health by modeling in the American Heart Association Go Red For Women fashion show.
"Walking the runway was definitely out of my comfort zone," Sandy said. "But I am committed to sharing my story with other women so they seek expert cardiac care as soon as they notice their symptoms. My fast action and the expert team at Oviedo Medical Center saved my life."
