Our dedicated Cardiac Rehab team is made up of a registered nurse, behavioral counselor, and three exercise physiologists. The Cardiac Rehab Program provides services for both inpatients as well as out patients. The phase one inpatient program runs seven days a week providing support, education and exercise for patients experiencing CAB, Valve Replacement, AMI, PCI, CHF, Angina etc, at both out Bluebonnet and Mid City campuses. Our Cardiac Rehab program is part of the Milton G. Womack, Sr. Heart Center.
After discharge, eligible patients are transitioned to the phase two intensive outpatient program located at the Bluebonnet campus. Through a holistic approach including exercise, behavioral and diet counseling, and lifestyle modification, we can help patients regain a healthful, energetic lifestyle and lower their risk for future heart complications.
Phase three is a long-term maintenance program that provides continued support to our phase two graduates.
Patients unable to enter the phase two program are provided recovery support through our phone-based outreach program. In the near future, we will be offering stress reduction and smoke cessation support groups to our patients and employees.
