Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

The Cardiac Rehabilitation staff is specifically trained to help participants develop a successful heart-healthy plan in a safe and supportive environment. The clinical staff includes registered nurses, exercise physiologists, and a registered dietitian.

Assessment

The program starts with a comprehensive assessment by the clinical staff, which provides the basis for an individualized treatment plan that will take into account your medical history, symptoms, functional capacity, risk factors, and personal goals.
