Hamilton Celebrating Cardiac Rehabilitation Week

February 25, 2022

Hamilton Medical Center (HMC) is recognizing its Cardiac Rehabilitation Program during Cardiac Rehab Week, Feb. 13-19.
 
Cardiac Rehab at Bradley Wellness Center is a 12-week, medically supervised program for the recovering cardiac patient. 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 or her physical, mental and emotional well-being.

The program includes:
• Initial interview with a cardiac rehabilitation specialist who will carefully evaluate the needs of the patient and recommend an individualized program
• Personal, supervised, monitored exercise sessions
• Patient and family education (individual and group sessions)
• Cholesterol testing
• Nutritional counseling
• Assistance in developing a safe home exercise program
• Encouragement and support from the staff.


Hamilton’s cardiac team consists of physicians, a registered nurse, exercise physiologists, and a registered dietitian who work together to provide specialized services including exercise prescriptions, dietary consults and education on various health topics for the patient and their family.


HMC’s cardiac rehabilitation is covered by most insurance plans. For more information, call 706-272-6574 or visit bradleywell.com/cardiac-rehab.

Hamilton Health Care System Names Hamilton Hero Recipients

June 6, 2019

Hamilton Medical Center Names Hamilton Hero RecipientsChad Edwards, MD, Hamilton Physician Group (HPG) – General Surgery; Juan Gonzalez, MD, HPG – Neurology; and Josh Hare, DO, HPG – Neurosurgery and Spine; recently received the Hamilton Hero Award for displaying an extraordinary commitment to the values of Hamilton Health Care System during life-saving events.

 

Several Hamilton staff members along with Gonzalez and Edwards were eating dinner at a local restaurant.

 

A man got up from his table and appeared to be sneezing until his wife got up from the table and ran over to him. The man had a napkin to his mouth and was bent over. Gonzalez was informed that the man was choking. While he and Edwards were running over to the man, the restaurant owner saw what was going on and attempted the Heimlich maneuver without success. Edwards immediately started assessing the situation, while Gonzalez grabbed the man and started the Heimlich maneuver. After about three attempts, the food was dislodged.

 

Hamilton Medical Center Names Hamilton Hero RecipientsHare was playing basketball with his usual teammates at Bradley Wellness Center. A fellow teammate started to show signs of a heart attack, and Hare stepped in immediately to assist. He attached the AED and placed oxygen on the man.  While waiting for emergency personnel, Hare talked the man through the situation, reassuring him that he was going to be alright.

“Immediately stepping in to assist in an emergency situation while off duty shows the type of people they are,” said Jason Hopkins, Human Resources director. “We’re very appreciative of their service on and off the clock.”
