Cardiac rehabilitation is a specialty service designed to assist individuals to full recovery following a heart attack or other heart problem. The nationally certified program is based on standards established by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. It is offered in three phases to meet the needs of new cardiac patients as well as individuals maintaining their cardiac health on an outpatient basis. All phases are designed to help individuals lead productive, active, and healthy lives. Fitness training, strengthening, and cardiovascular risk factor modification are a part of each phase.
Cardiac rehabilitation is provided by a multidisciplinary team trained in cardiac care.
The team includes a registered nurse with advanced cardiac rehabilitation training and certification, a registered dietitian, exercise physiologists, registered nurses, and technicians.
