The Cardiac Rehabilitation
Program
Back to Clinical
Services
he 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 chance 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 goes well beyond 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.
