Cardiac
rehabilitation is a comprehensive exercise, education, and support
program for those recovering from and living with heart disease.
Our team of clinical exercise specialists show you how you can
successfully manage a heart-healthy lifestyle. All you need to
participate is your doctor’s referral. Many of our patients
participate in our program when coping with:
- Myocardial infarction (heart attack).
- Angioplasty or stenting of coronary arteries.
- Recovery from heart surgery (bypass, valve replacement).
- Management of angina (chest pain).
- Management of on-going heart disease or dysfunction (congestive heart failure, cardiomyopathy, arrhythmia).

supervised setting

Cardiac rehabilitation progresses in three phases:
-
INPATIENT (Phase I) occurs while you are still in the hospital and consists
daily monitored acitivity sessions and preparation for
discharge.
-
OUTPATIENT (Phase II) is a program of weekly
exercise sessions and educational
seminars.
-
ONGOING (Phase III) is a maintenance program for those who want to continue supervised exercise training.
-
On-going support is available for graduates of cardiac rehab.
Our Phase II outpatient program, includes exercise sessions, educational seminars, dietary consultation, tobacco cessation counseling, and
support. The typical duration of the outpatient program is 8 to 12 weeks, however we will individualize
your program to meet your needs and goals. Throughout your time in the program we invite family members and loved ones to be involved in your recovery and attend our weekly sessions.
Most health plans cover outpatient cardiac rehabilitation (Phase II). We will preauthorize your participation prior to your first visit. Together, we can help you find the path to good health.
