Process:

     Each exercise routine is designed for the individual. Your cardiologist or primary care physician orders specific guidelines for monitoring your exercise. Once an order is received, an appointment can be scheduled with the Cardiac Rehab Department. Our professional staff will supervise and monitor you durning your training and throughout the rehabilitation period according to your specific needs.

     Monitored participants are cared for by a Registered Nurse certified in American Heart Association Advanced Cardiac Life Support. Non-monitored participants may be supervised by other trained staff.

     In addition to your exercise program, you will be provided information on lifestyle modifications including, but not limited to: smoking cessation, exercise, medications, stress management, dietary planning and living with coronary artery disease. Individual counseling is provided to each participant.

     Cardiac Rehabilitation is performed in three phases.
