Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs
Cardiac Rehabilitation Programs were developed by Rice Memorial Hospital in answer to a need expressed by the community for an ongoing opportunity to exercise under the benefits of medical supervision.
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation services are designed to help people with cardiovascular disease recover faster and return to full and productive lives.
Our facility is located on the second floor of the Lakeland Health Center, directly across the street from Rice Hospital.
The
Phases of Cardiac Rehabilitation
Phase 1: this phase begins in the hospital with low-level activity and education.
Phase 2: this phase begins after hospital discharge and includes close observation, heart (telemetry) monitoring each session, and frequent nurse-physician reports.
Phase 3: this phase incorporates more independence and includes exercise with supervision, monthly heart (telemetry) monitoring, close blood pressure observation, and quarterly reports to the physician.
After Phase 3, patients may participate independently with an exercise program at the YMCA, done in collaboration with the Cardiac Rehab staff.
The rehabilitation team includes: your doctor, specially-trained registered nurses, an exercise physiologist, registered dietitians, a social worker, occupational therapist, physical therapist, chaplain, and clinical pharmacist.
