Phase II – Outpatient Rehabilitation
The Outpatient Phase II cardiac rehabilitation begins after Phase I
(inpatient cardiac rehabilitation). A doctor’s referral is required.
Phase II cardiac rehab is a monitored session of
individualized, ECG telemetry monitored exercises two to three
hours sessions per week for two weeks.. Phase II also includes
group and individual education about the cardiovascular risk factors
and nutritional guidance in adopting a heart healthy diet.
Phase III – Outpatient Maintenance
Our Phase III Maintenance program is offered through our Fitness & Wellness Center . It includes an exercise regimen supervised by our experienced physical therapist. During Phase III patients will continue to receive exercise supervision but will no longer receive telemetry monitoring.
