Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase 2
After stabilization from heart surgery, a heart attack, or other heart treatment, you are eligible, with your physician's approval, to join our outpatient Cardiac Rehab program.

When you join our program, an Exercise Physiologist develops a custom fitness program based on your individual condition. You will be monitored by continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) telemetry for you and your heart's safety as you continue to build strength and stamina and recondition your heart.

In Phase 2, your monitored exercise routine in the Cardiac Rehabilitation unit will be under the direct supervision of a Registered Nurse and Exercise Physiologist. Our facility offers a full range of exercise options and equipment, including treadmills, Schwinn Airdynes, Monark arm and leg ergometers, stationary bikes, wall pulleys and therabands.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase 3
Maintaining your health remains important after completing Phase 2. Our Phase 3 program allows you to continue a state of wellness through heart healthy practices. You will continue to:

• Exercise as prescribed.
• Continue learning about heart disease.
• Continue learning optional dietary habits.
• Continue to attain ideal body weight.
• Abstain from smoking, if applicable.
• Control diabetes, if applicable.
• Follow-up with your physician as advised.

Phase 3 Cardiac Rehabilitation offers exercise supervised by a Registered Nurse and an Exercise Physiologist. This program is also good for those who have not yet experienced a heart condition but are at risk for heart disease.

Who is Eligible?
The program is for persons who have suffered angina attacks or those recovering from a heart attack, bypass surgery, angioplasty, or any other condition which your physician feels could improve with an exercise program. Your entrance into the Cardiac Rehab program requires your physician's approval.

Cost?
Almost all medical insurance companies and Medicare cover the cost of those eligible for Phase 2 Cardiac Rehabilitation. Most medical insurance companies will not cover Phase 3. However, this program is offered for a minimal fee. Please remember you will not be denied care based on your ability to pay.
