Our staff members are dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those living with heart failure. They empower patients by assisting them in making effective lifestyle changes to control their disease and by providing state-of-the-art treatment, education and monitoring. All of these program components enable patients to live more independently, maintain optimal cardiovascular health and reduce hospitalizations related to their disease.

Lenore Blank, MSN, NP-C
Administrative Manager
Lenore has more than 20 years experience in cardiac nursing, including critical care, home care, and the management of congestive heart failure patients. Prior to her position at Hackensack University Medical Center, Lenore had launched a successful heart failure program at another institution that resulted in an 87% decrease in admissions to the hospital for these patients. For these efforts, she received a nursing recognition award in 1998 from the New Jersey League for Nursing.
“Those of us who are committed to the advocacy and management of heart failure patients are rewarded by seeing them improve their quality of life and reduce hospitalizations due to their illness.”
