| To get started you need a physicians order and the results of a stress test. The stress test helps establish an exercise program fit for the individuals needs. |
| The average program is 36 visits, which consists of 3 one hour visits per week for 3 months. Throughout each visit your blood pressure is taken and EKG is monitored. The progress is documented by a registered nurse and later reviewed by a physician. If any complications occur your referring doctor is notified. We also send your referring doctor a progress report every 4-6 weeks. When you complete the program we will provide you with a home exercise program. |
| To Get Started |
| If you are interested in attending our cardiac rehabilitation program please call us. We will contact your insurance company to check the benefits available and pre-certify your visits.
