Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program is an exercise and wellness program for people who have, or are at high risk for, heart conditions. Cardiac rehab can help you gradually increase your exercise levels, strength and flexibility, and can help you understand cardiac disease; improve your quality of life; enhance mood; return to work and leisure activities; and reduce symptoms and risk factors of cardiac disease.

You may be a good candidate for our program if you have or have had:

• Myocardial infarction
• Stable angina
• Coronary artery bypass graft surgery
• Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty/stent procedures
• Valve surgery
• Chronic stable heart failure
• Ventricular assist devices
• Diabetes
• Cardiac transplantation
• Peripheral arterial disease
• High risk for coronary artery disease

Advantages of our program include:

• A customized exercise plan tailored to your goals, needs and capabilities
• Informal peer support
• Education focused on modifying heart disease risk factors
• Cardiac monitoring at each exercise session and oversight by a medical professional certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS)
• Comprehensive care that includes exercise, diet and smoking cessation
• Two-phase care that may be entered into at any point during your recovery
• Program certification by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation
