My name is Carrie Tucker, and I am the founder
of Heart Failure Solutions. 

I have been a Respiratory Therapist since 1985. 
I worked for 12 years in emergency and critical
care settings, taking care of adults, kids and
premature babies. 

I learned from seasoned Respiratory Veterans,
lessons that you just don’t get in school. 
I owe a debt of gratitude to each of them. 

You know who you are, thank you! 
(Miss you Catherine! 
The world just isn’t the same without you!)

Caring for critically and chronically ill patients was
strong motivation for me to focus on building health. 
It wasn’t a popular philosophy way back when, but more
and more I find myself in good company. 

Since 1997 I have been teaching cardiac and
pulmonary rehabilitation.  I noticed an  increasing
number of people living with undiagnosed heart failure.
Those with a diagnosis still weren’t getting the
useful information and support that they needed.

I have become passionate about building a place for the
gathering of a Community.  One that is willing to come
together to bring about positive change in their individual
lives while supporting others as they do the same.

This valuable network of real people is the missing link
in your health problem. 

Too often patients are not given the information that
they need from their health care provider, or they are
misinformed entirely.  Even with good information, it
is difficult to bring about change in isolation.
 
Heart Failure Solutions is the answer.  It is the missing
link.  Poke around this site until you find what you need
to regain or protect your quality of life. 

Stand up and Speak up.  You are the community. 
If you have a question ask it!

If the information you get from your health care
provider conflicts with what you learn on our site,
get a second opinion.

It’s your health.
 
Of course the information on this site is not intended to
diagnose or treat any health condition. Our goal is to
educate you so that you can more effectively work with
your health care provider.
 
Knowledge is potential power. Educate yourself.
 
We are here to help.
