What is Cardiac Rehabilitation? - Cardiac rehabilitation is a comprehensive medically supervised program offering exercise sessions, educational classes and emotional support. It provides many benefits for your overall health. Cardiac rehabilitation is in 3 phases:

• Phase I Inpatient - Hospitalized patients to begin medical and exercise therapy as soon as possible. Learning about your cardiac event and beginning to make lifestyle changes.
• Phase II Outpatient - 3 times a week for monitored exercise sessions and risk reduction modification for a maximum of 36 sessions. Patients will also attend an educational class once a week with their exercise session. Prior to entering the program, the patient will attend an orientation session for a complete cardiovascular evaluation which may include a treadmill test.
• Phase III Outpatient - After completing the Phase II program, patients will enter this phase for long term maintenance. This is designed to build upon the progress achieved in Phase II.
