Cardiac rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation aims to help you recover from a cardiovascular event — such as a heart attack or heart failure — or other debilitating heart condition. This recovery process usually involves physical therapy, exercise and education to rebuild and maintain your heart strength.
Cardiac therapy options we offer
Our team of cardiac rehabilitation specialists includes board-certified cardiologists, dieticians and registered nurses specializing in cardiac care. The team also works to ensure that regular follow-up information is sent to your personal physician. There are two phases in our cardiac rehabilitation program: inpatient and outpatient.
Phase I: inpatient care
The inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program begins when you are still in the hospital receiving cardiac care services. As an inpatient, you will also receive individualized education and counseling related to your diagnosis.
Phase II: outpatient care
The outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program begins when your physician authorizes exercise to continue your rehabilitation journey after leaving the hospital. As an outpatient, you will participate in a monitored exercise program that is designed for your individual needs. The 12-week program consists of one-hour sessions, three times a week.
Cardiac rehabilitation information series
To help you keep up with the latest information on all things heart health, we have developed a weekly information series that focuses on heart disease management, including risk factor modification. We encourage everyone to attend.
