Recovery and Support

 
Our approach to cardiac rehabilitation is progressive and multi-disciplinary--and may include:

Exercise: During the initial period, a custom exercise regimen is designed and supervised by qualified nurses, exercise therapists and medical staff. Patients are continuously monitored with advanced continuous EKG.

Nutrition: Individuals receive counseling on effective methods of achieving ideal body weight as well as controlling cholesterol, blood sugar, and hypertension through diet.

Counseling Services: Licensed social service workers are available to support cardiac patients and families dealing with pain, fear, and depression during rehabilitation.
