Medicare and most private health insurance plans cover most or all of the cost of cardiac rehab. Contact your insurance representative if you have questions. If you wish to self-pay, we can arrange a payment plan based on your needs.
Our Personalized Approach
Our cardiac care team works with you to develop a plan of care tailored to your specific risk factors and needs. A dietitian provides nutritional counseling, and an exercise specialist will individualize your rehab and home exercise programs.
Fitness for Life Program
Supervised, EKG monitored exercise plays a key role in cardiac rehab. It’s a smart, safe way to strengthen your heart and reduce your risk of future problems. Exercise also lowers blood pressure, reduces stress and keeps you feeling and looking good! Our health education sessions cover a variety of topics, including heart anatomy, stress management, heart medications and more. Patients complete cardiac rehabilitation prepared to maintain positive changes and live life to the fullest.
