The multidisciplinary rehabilitation team includes a physician, psychologist, advance practice cardiac nurses, exercise physiologists, educators and registered dietitians—each contributing their expertise to ensure your successful recovery. The program takes patients, who meet the criteria, through every stage of recovery. In the beginning, individualized cardiac-monitored exercise sessions are combined with ongoing education to learn heart healthy eating, stress management, and lifestyle changes. Later, you can continue to improve your health under the supervision of an experienced cardiac staff while enjoying the convenience of picking when and how often you want to exercise.
