From nutrition counseling and smoking cessation to cardiac rehabilitation and neurological disorders, CRFC gives patients health and fitness solutions. Senior citizens, recovering cardiac patients, and those working to attain optimum health can strive to accomplish their goals with assistance from an experienced and specialized staff. A unique segment of the program at CRFC is the Lymphedema Treatment Center, under the direction of Dr. George Kemble, Medical Director of Rehabilitation Occupational Services. CRFC is one of a very few sites in the country where patients can receive lymphedema treatment. Then patients go to the Lymphedema exercise room for a workout.
Exercise is a part of the whole picture.
You can't leave out any one of the segments. In various exercise classes offered at CRFC, patients work out at a pace individually geared to fit their needs, all guided by a certified trainer. Many people who actually join the center started in our pulmonary program. Then after they graduate a lot of them come in and exercise on their own. Maybe a pulmonary patient starts out at 20 percent capacity, and we can help them attain maybe 30 percent.
