Our Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is an essential component of your recovery, helping patients with heart disease, heart attacks, or other heart-related disorders, resume an active lifestyle. Our nationally certified program combines medical supervision, cardiac monitoring, education, dietary, and individual counseling, with a progressive exercise program to help you reach and maintain a high level of heart fitness.
Once you're referred by a provider, we begin with a thorough assessment with one of our providers and one of our cardiac rehab nurses, tailoring a cardiac rehab program that meets your needs.
Our cardiac rehab program offers many benefits. It can improve the ability to carry out activities of daily living, reduce heart disease risk factors, improve quality of life, improve outlook and emotional stability, and increase the knowledge of heart disease and how you can manage it properly.
