• Cardiac Rehabilitation

The Phelps Memorial Health Center Cardiac Rehabilitation Program provides a program of exercise lifestyle changes to decrease the risk of heart problems, plus education for family and participants with heart conditions.  These heart conditions can include a heart attack, angina, cardiac stent, heart surgery, angioplasty and others.

Purpose of Cardiac Rehab
Cardiac Rehab is a lifestyle modification and exercise program.  It is designed to help you learn healthy lifestyle techniques that will prevent progression of your coronary artery disease and help you recover following a heart attack, cardiac surgery or if you have angina or congestive heart failure.  It will enable you to learn new lifestyle habits and build up your endurance, strength, and tolerance to activity or exercise.

To achieve and maintain good cardiovascular conditioning, you need aerobic exercise.  Some examples of aerobic exercise are: walking, bicycling, rowing, jogging/running, continuous rhythmic dancing, jumping rope, swimming, and use of a cross-country ski machine.  Activities that are not aerobic because they are stop/start activities include: tennis, golf, and weight lifting.

Our experienced staff at the PMHC Cardiac Rehabilitation program provide a comprehensive program of exercise, cardiac risk factor modification and education for patients and their families.  This program is also recognized by the American Diabetic Association as an Outpatient Diabetic Self Management Program (in conjunction with Bryan LGH Medical Center).
