Cardiology - Our Patients

Michael Coco
"I was in church," Michael Coco remembers. "It was Easter Sunday, and I had a feeling in my chest, a pain I normally didn't have." At first, he didn't think much about it. "Then, a couple of hours later, I felt it in my shoulder and in my arm." The pain continued to spread. "It was about four o'clock that I turned beet-red and my wife said, ‘We're going to the emergency room.'" Read More


Fern Bouchard
Fern 100.jpgThe BMC Electrophysiology Lab treats patients with a wide variety of arrhythmias, including supraventricular tachycardia, atrial flutter and fibrillation, and ventricular tachycardia. One of those patients is Fern Bouchard. "“The doctor talked with me throughout the entire procedure, and I was very impressed with everyone who was there. Something magical happened, I guess, because I haven’t had any episodes since!” Read More



Henry & Mary Holt
Henry and Mary Holt of Lee have heart conditions that require a variety of services from the BHS Division of Cardiology that is led by Jeffrey Leppo, MD. "The treatment has been excellent," Henry said, referring to both clinical services and cardiac rehabilitation, which he attends three mornings a week. "Dr. Leppo is leading a first-rate operation."

Elizabeth Thomson
Elizabeth Thomson, who worked for 30 years at Austin Riggs in Stockbridge, never suffered a serious illness and was always healthy.

Doctors at Austin Riggs administered CPR and she was rushed to Berkshire Medical Center's emergency department. Read More
