Heart rehabilitation (rehab)
Rehab is a critical component of any cardiovascular treatment plan. If you have undergone surgery, experienced a heart attack or have struggled with any of the various forms of heart disease, having heart-focused rehab has numerous benefits and can help rejuvenate your daily life. At our outpatient rehabilitation center near the hospital, you will not only engage in exercises designed to increase overall function, but you will also receive education about positive lifestyle habits. Throughout it all, you will also get our full support resources to aid in your recovery.
Once rehab is complete, we work with your personal physician to craft a post-discharge recovery plan and check-in schedule. This helps you maintain the progress you've made at our center as you continue to reshape your life.
