Cardiac Rehabilitation

Phase I - Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation

Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation is managed by all the hospital staff involved in patient care. Services are individually tailored to each patient's particular needs.

Physical Therapists and an Exercise Physiologist help open heart surgery patient's exercise and walk. This increases strength and stamina for recovery and prepares the patient to return home.
Dietitians teach patients healthy cardiac diets.
Nurses provide instructions about treatments, medications and information needed to go home.

Recover after a heart attack, open heart surgery, angioplasty, stenting and other interventions.

Phase 2 Cardiac Rehabilitation participants are scheduled three times per week for up to 36 sessions.

Medicare and most insurance plans pay for Phase 2 Cardiac Rehabilitation.
Insurance benefits may be predetermined before participants are enrolled.
A physician referral is required.
