Cardiac Rehabilitation or Cardiac Rehab is a comprehensive, medically-supervised, hospital-based outpatient program for persons of all ages with heart disease including heart attack, heart surgery, stent placement, stable angina (chest pain) or heart failure.

While completing the program, participants will learn more about heart-healthy exercise and diet. An exercise program will be tailored specifically for you.
