Cardiac Rehabilitation

What is Cardiac Rehab?

Cardiac Rehab (Phase I) begins with an inpatient visit from a cardiac rehab nurse who will meet with each patient while they are in the hospital after a heart event.  The nurse will explain about Cardiac Rehab Phase II and will answer any questions the patient or family member may have.  Educational material will be provided to each patient.

Cardiac Rehab (Phase II) at Bradley Wellness Center is a 12-week medically supervised program for the recovering cardiac patient. It is the next phase in feeling healthier and returning to a full and productive life. The program includes monitored exercises, educational sessions, dietary consults, and behavioral change interventions. The goal of this program is to equip the patient with the necessary tools to be able to make the appropriate choices and changes to help increase his/her physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

Who is Eligible for Cardiac Rehab?

The program is designed to assist cardiac patients and their families with the following conditions:

  • Heart Attack
  • Heart Surgery (by-pass, valve replacement)
  • Stent Placement
