CARDIAC REHABILITATION

The Cardiac Rehab & Wellness Center, recognizes that heart disease can be physically and emotionally challenging for both patients and their families. Our professional staff provides a warm, safe environment, and helps each patient reach the highest possible level of recovery.

What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?

Our comprehensive heart program includes cardiac rehabilitation, a recovery program designed for people who have coronary artery disease, electrical disorders of the heart, have had a heart attack, heart surgery, or angioplasty.

Our program is a medically supervised program of exercise therapy, risk factors intervention, education and emotional support.

How Can Cardiac Rehabilitation Help Patients?

1) Help patients and families through the recovery period

2) Provide a safe environment during the recovery phase

3) Provide emotional support and encouragement from experienced and caring healthcare professionals, as well as other cardiac patients.

4) Identify modifiable risk factors that contribute to heart disease

5) Help patients reach optimum health outcomes

What to expect ?

Phase 1: Inpatient

While still in the hospital, cardiac rehabilitation nurse will work with the patient to gradually and safely increase activity levels, provide information about the patient’s disease and treatment, answer questions, address concerns and give the patient and family guidelines and instructions for going home.

Phase 2: Outpatient

Cardiac Rehabilitation continues after the patient goes home. The patient returns to the Cardiac Rehab three times a week on an outpatient basis for telemetry monitored exercise therapy, education and dietary counseling. At this level the patient will have the opportunity to interact with other individuals who have also experienced a cardiac event.

Phase 3: Fitness Center Membership

A maintenance program provides the patient with the opportunity to continue an exercise program in a structured, medically supervised environment as long as it is beneficial.

1) The heart and how it works
