 What
is Cardiac Rehab?
The Phase 2 Cardiac Rehab involves education and
exercise sessions. During the exercise sessions,
your heart rhythm & blood pressure are monitored.
These sessions help you learn what kind of exercises
you can do, how to do them safely, and help you
develop your own exercise program that you can
continue at home.
There are educational classes held every week
to help you learn how to live with cardiac disease
and ways to change unhealthy habits. We even provide
healthy snacks!
The Phase 3 Cardiac Rehab program is free and
available to those who have completed the Phase
2 program. This is an independent program where
participants can apply what they learned in Phase
2, and continue their exercise
regimen in a supervised environment.
