The AMI-Depression project refers to a statewide collaborative effort being coordinated among IPRO, the New York Chapter of the AACVPR (American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation), and approximately 60-70 cardiac rehabilitation centers. The goal of this project is to promote the screening and treatment of depression among cardiac patients in New York State. The project is supported by CMS (The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services).
