At Oaks at Radford Hills, we take pride in offering comprehensive support for individuals with POTS, empowering them to reclaim their lives and achieve their educational goals.

Understanding POTS

POTS is a complex and often debilitating condition that affects the autonomic nervous system, leading to an abnormal increase in heart rate when transitioning from lying down to standing up. This condition can result in a wide range of symptoms, including dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, and difficulty concentrating. At Oaks at Radford Hills, we specialize in providing personalized care and treatment options for individuals with POTS, ensuring their well-being and quality of life.

With the support of Oaks at Radford Hills, Miss CA not only managed her symptoms but also achieved her dream of pursuing higher education.
