Cardiac Rehab


Cardiac Rehabilitation is a comprehensive approach to helping individuals with cardiovascular diseases improve the quality of their lives. The purposes of the Redwood Area Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation Program are:

*To increase the functional exercise capacity of the patient

*To provide education regarding cardiovascular disease and risk factors associated with its development

*To help patients and their families deal with the emotional aspects of cardiovascular disease

Cardiac Rehabilitation is an outpatient, hospital-based program prescribed by your physician. The program is staffed by specially trained registered nurses who are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support.

The program’s medical director is a physician with training in cardiac rehabilitation. For more information about what the cardiac rehabilitation program has to offer, please click on the links below:
