Strengthening Your Heart after Leaving the Hospital
If you’ve had a heart attack or are dealing with heart disease, heart failure, peripheral artery disease (PAD), or stable angina, you may be eligible for cardiopulmonary rehabilitation. Cardiopulmonary rehab also may be a helpful option if you’re recovering from heart bypass surgery, angioplasty, stent implantation, heart transplant, or valve surgery. Talk with your cardiologist to see if you’re a candidate and to get a prescription for services.
Regain Independence
Our comprehensive cardiopulmonary rehab helps you increase your mobility, resume your normal activities, and prevent future cardiac events through carefully monitored exercise and education.

Family members are encouraged to attend the educational offerings to gain an understanding of their loved one’s safe range of activity, recommended goals, and need for follow-up care.
