 I'm Dr. Deanne Rivera, a cardiologist for Kaiser Permanente at Rock Creek in Colorado. I went to medical school at University of Colorado in Denver, and after that I went off to Chicago for internal medicine training. As I went through my medical training, I realized more and more cardiology was such an innovative specialty. I did my fellowship training in cardiology, and after that, electrophysiology, which is a particular specialty of the heart. What I enjoy about working at Kaiser Permanente is that everybody comes together as a team, including our nurses, our lab, our clinical specialists and pharmacists, our mental health care. All of that is available without having to have a second referral outside the system. We have a collaborative team approach where I know that my patients are going to have care and follow-up that is appropriate and well integrated. I love seeing a patient walk back into my clinic after I've seen them in the hospital, and they are back to leading their lives, enjoying their friends, their family, and they're living their life to the fullest.
