What We Offer
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is designed to help people with heart disease recover faster and lead healthier lives. It can reduce symptoms such as chest pains and decrease the risk of having heart problems again. Patients who have had a heart attack, bypass surgery, coronary interventions and/or heart failure are prime candidates for this program.
Our comprehensive, individualized program builds upon a program of exercise and diet to include education, counseling, emotional support and a growing number of other options. Under the direction of our cardiologists, advanced practice nurses and other health professionals work closely with the referring physician to tailor a 6-12 week program to meet the patient's needs.
