The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Cardiac rehabilitation teaches you how to make meaningful lifestyle changes, such as introducing a heart-healthy diet and exercise, which can lead to a stronger heart and better health, resulting in an increase in activity. Besides feeling better and reducing your risk of future heart problems, cardiac rehab can help you to manage high blood pressure, lower your cholesterol, reduce stress and return to work sooner and safely.
The program includes:
- Monitored and supervised exercise to improve cardiovascular function and modify cardiac risk factors. A wide variety of exercise options are available including treadmills, recumbent bicycles, weight training equipment and a heated therapy pool.
- Education sessions that focus on nutrition, exercise guidelines, risk factor identification, stress reduction, blood pressure and cholesterol control.
- Support provided by a team of experienced medical professionals such as a registered nurse and exercise physiologists.

Candidates for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation include individuals recovering from:
- Heart attack
