Cardiac Rehabilitation

At Columbia St. Mary's, our cardiac rehabilitation program includes nurses, exercise specialists and other health care professionals who work closely with your physician to provide the most appropriate program for you. We understand the value of a comprehensive, medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation program and support you every step of the way.

Working together with you and your family, our goal is to make the most of your rehabilitation by enhancing your overall quality of life through education, exercise and support. Our equipment and monitoring capabilities are state-of-the-art, while caring for you in a friendly and supportive environment. During your recovery period, education is provided to help you understand your role in managing the disease process in conjunction with a progressive exercise program that improves your overall strength and flexibility.

Classes will be offered to assist you in learning about nutrition, exercise, cholesterol and stress management. Our goal is to return you to your maximum level of physical and psychological fitness.

We know it can sometimes be frightening for patients to resume normal activities after a cardiac procedure or surgery. At Columbia St. Mary's Heart Care Program, our main objective is helping you get better, so that you may regain the confidence to get back into the joy of living again.
