A recovery plan just for you
Under the direction of your physician, our rehabilitation staff will design an individualized exercise and education plan focused solely on your healing.
Our shared goal will be to improve your overall quality of life. A few of the ways we do this include scheduling a nursing assessment to evaluate your health status and hear your concerns, planning medically supervised exercise sessions and providing risk-factor modification training for you and your family to reduce your risk of future cardiac health issues.
Rehab for heart disease patients

Normalize blood sugars (if you have diabetes)
Reduce risk of coronary artery disease progression while improving overall cardiovascular health

Decrease hospitalizations
Improve overall cardiovascular health, circulation, endurance and muscle strength
Prevent further disease progression to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke and amputation
