Cardiac Wellness Program at TLC gives patients a path forward

Apr 25th, 2025

After two serious heart events, retiree Tony Cimarosti is on the right track. His cardiologist is happy with the progress — and so is he.

Twice a week, Cimarosti, 66, attends the Cardiac Wellness Program at the Toldo Lancer Centre (TLC), working on his heart health alongside others who have gone through similar experiences.

“My cardiologist always gives me great reports,” he shared. “At every check-in, he tells me everything looks good and that he’ll see me next year. I like hearing that.”
