Cardiac Rehabilitation

This medically supervised program helps people with cardiovascular disease improve their heart health and aerobic endurance through exercise training, education, and managing risk factors. Our specialized team includes a registered nurse, exercise physiologist, exercise specialist, registered dietitian, licensed social worker, and a cardiologist.

The program, which spans 36 sessions over 12 to 18 weeks, requires a physician referral.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Our nine-week program includes twice-weekly two-hour sessions. We individualize your exercise plan to teach you how to manage your illness, understand your oxygen needs, and use oxygen devices. Our exercise sessions focus on improving strength and endurance; our educational sessions cover nutrition and medical management, breathing techniques, and more. We help people achieve improvements in their ability to walk, climb stairs, and play with their grandchildren.
