Do not avoid seeing a doctor for non-coronavirus health issues, particularly cardiac conditions

The concern is that patients are opting to stay home for a variety of reasons.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — As the COVID-19 pandemic stretches on, community health care resources are being stretched to the limit, at least for folks who are presenting with symptoms of COVID-19.  

Statistics show that, on a global basis, there has been a dramatic drop in the number of people with heart attacks or other cardiovascular conditions.  The concern is that patients are opting to stay home for a variety of reasons.  

We wanted to hear more about that from Spectrum Health Cardiologist, Dr. David Wohns.  You can find more information about COVID-19 at www.spectrumhealth.org/COVID.
