Cardiac Rehab is a supervised and individualized program designed to help you improve your health and decrease your cardiac risk factors. Once you have been discharged from the hospital after open heart surgery or a heart attack, your provider may send us orders for you to begin Cardiac Rehab or you may contact your provider for a referral. Sessions are usually 2-3 times per week involving exercise, strength training and education.
