Cardiac Rehabilitation

What is Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation?

Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation programs are designed to help you return to a full and active lifestyle. A team of specialists will help you and your family including doctors, nurses, exercise experts, occupational therapists, counselors and dietitians. The program length is flexible, usually four to six weeks for 2-3 times a week (1-2 hours a day). For people who have time or travel considerations, compressed programs of one or two weeks are also available.
