A Cost-Effective & Convenient Program

The initial program is a 36-session program (three sessions per week for 12 weeks) conducted on an outpatient basis. The goals of cardiac rehabilitation are to establish an individualized plan to help you regain strength, prevent your condition from worsening and reduce your risk of future heart problems, as well as improve your health and quality of life.

We understand that insurance coverage for cardiac rehab only covers a certain period of time. With that in mind, we have created a transitional exercise program to help you continue your rehabilitation with the same great team that cared for you throughout your prescribed rehabilitation.

Cardiac rehabilitation programs are held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are held Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
