Heart Attack Survivor Fights the Good Fight
Renown Health - Reno, NV
Mondo Corona went to the Renown Health emergency room after experiencing a persistent earache. A blood test revealed that he’d experienced – and survived – a widowmaker heart attack! Just over a month after undergoing a triple bypass procedure, this patient-turned-ICR-advocate began attending Renown Health’s ICR program where he learned to modify his lifestyle and prioritize his heart health.
He described his experience as life-changing: “The care teams at both Renown (Health) and ICR were incredible. There wasn’t a single person we came across who didn’t immediately become a part of the family. They truly cared for us, all of us, including the extended family that came to visit. They were informative and supportive. I felt like I created lasting bonds with so many of them, especially the gang in ICR. What amazing people.”
