Cardiac Rehabilitation
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Jefferson Regional Medical Center is a comprehensive, individualized exercise and education program for individuals with known heart disease who have undergone invasive treatments, including:
- Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
- Valve Repair/Replacement
- Angioplasty or Stent Placement
- Heart Transplant
Our goal is to help you achieve your goals for wellness, and provide the tools you need to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program provides an customized exercise program, with EKG, blood pressure, heart rate and oxygen saturation monitoring during each exercise session to ensure safe return to daily activities. The program also provides education and counseling on lifestyle modifications to help keep the heart healthy.
The benefits from the program are maximized through a professional staff of registered nurses, clinical exercise physiologists, registered dieticians and behavioral health specialists, working closely with your cardiologist to provide feedback on your progress.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is a covered service by most insurance companies. The Rehabilitation Department will contact your insurance company to verify benefits before beginning the program, and will obtain all necessary referrals by working with your physician’s office.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is located on the main Jefferson Regional campus. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, please call 412-469-5045.
