Cardiac Rehabilitation
What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
Cardiac Rehab is a medically supervised program that provides exercise, education, and support to those living with heart and vascular disease.
Our program is held on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with several class times throughout the day, enabling patients to find a time that is convenient for their schedule. It is run by a team of exercise physiologists and supervising physicians in a group setting. The group setting supports, inspires and motivates patients to improve their heart health.
