Get a personalized rehabilitation program for better results.
If you have heart problems or are recovering from surgery, you can complete an individualized exercise program created by Adventist Heart & Vascular Institute experts. 
You’ll work in collaboration with a team of medical specialists, including board-certified cardiologists, cardiac nurses, exercise physiologists and dieticians – who are all highly trained in the development of exercise programs and certified in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Getting Started at the Hospital
You may begin your rehabilitation program while recovering from a heart attack, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, or angioplasty. Based in the hospital under the care of your physician, cardiac nurses and exercise physiologists, this kind of rehabilitation focuses on progressive flexibility exercise and walking with heart rate, blood pressure and heart monitoring.
Continuing with Outpatient Services
After you are discharged from the hospital, your physician may prescribe a regular exercise program to continue your recovery. Exercise sessions are scheduled for one hour, three times a week. The program takes about 12 weeks to complete, depending on your progress. This service is available at several convenient locations and is covered by most insurance programs.
Maintaining Your Exercise Program
Adventist Heart & Vascular Institute offers a special cardiovascular maintenance program designed for graduates of the Outpatient program who are independent but still want some supervision during exercise. Consent from your physician is required. Maintenance programs are typically not covered by most insurance plans.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation
A diagnosis of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease can be frightening, but you don't have to face it alone. Adventist Heart & Vascular Institute's Pulmonary Rehabilitation program provides a caring place to get help in learning to control and reduce symptoms and complications.
