OUTPATIENT REHAB FOR CARDIAC PATIENTS

Rehab is key to cardiac recovery.

Our heart patients have yet another lifesaving program available to them with the November 2008 opening of the Outpatient Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation Unit. The 2,600-square-foot space includes stationary bicycles, treadmills, steppers and an arm ergometer for an upper-body workout. The program also includes medical evaluation, monitored physical activity, lifestyle education and emotional support.

Rehab is a vital part of cardiac recovery. Patients who enter an outpatient cardiac rehab program post-event have a 25 percent better survival rate.
