Cardiovascular Pulmonary Rehabilitation United Hospital's rehabilitation program offers monitored rehabilitation exercise in a bright, new space on the third floor. The staff includes a nurse, occupational therapist, exercise physiologist, and respiratory therapist. The staff has expertise in exercise prescription and ECG interpretation.
Patients can continue their rehabilitation in the rehab unit after they leave the hospital.
This provides continuity and security for patients after they are discharged because they don't need to change rehab programs and get acquainted with new staff and equipment. The staff and the physicians are involved in nationally recognized research and participate in clinical testing for cardiovascular devices so that we may continually offer our patients premiere care. Patient education, rehabilitation, and frequent assessments and treatments are major components of the care provided. We provide a diverse range of services including telemetry monitoring with arrhythmia analysis, care of patients requiring chronic ventilator support as well as close observation of potential complications based on complex diagnoses. When a patient presents with multiple diagnoses requiring special services that may not be provided on these units, their needs are evaluated by their physician and the nursing staff.
