Community health worker help for heart rehab after a heart event
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a community health worker (a trained person from your community) can help people with low income join and stick with a heart rehab program after a heart event. The goal is to make heart recovery easier and more accessible.
