Cardiac Rehabilitation
A cardiac procedure or event can be a life-altering experience, but the steps you take afterwards can affect your recovery and the quality of your life. Cardiac rehabilitation can begin soon after your cardiac event or hospitalization, upon the advice and referral of your physician. Participation in cardiac rehabilitation can reduce your change of another cardiac event.
Medicare and most other insurance plans offer partial or full coverage for Cardiac Rehabilitation and WellspringHeart / Intensive Cardiac Rehabilitation.
The goals of cardiac rehabilitation are to help you:
- Regain strength and stamina
- Improve your health by reducing risk factors that may lead to another event
You have the power to prevent another life threatening event and bring back the joy of living. Our team of specialists will help you personalize a recovery and wellness plan including monitored exercise, stress management, nutritional counseling and interactive education about lifestyle changes. These tools will help you reduce your risk factors for heart disease including diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
