Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

To improve quality of life for individuals diagnosed with heart and lung disease, Clark Regional Medical Center offers individualized, exercise-based rehabilitation overseen by a full team including a physician, a nurse, a respiratory therapist, an occupational therapist and a physical therapist.

The comprehensive program helps patients recover from procedures and make lasting changes for a healthier and happier life.

The program includes:

• In-depth meeting with staff and review of medical information
• Preliminary six-minute walk test
• Regular appointments — two to three times per week for three months
• Supervised exercise
• Education for lifestyle modifications, including diet and exercise

Recovering from heart or lung disease can be a challenge, but you don’t have to go it alone.

“I’ve learned to build exercise time into my schedule, putting myself first, since preventive health boosts my energy, productivity and overall self-confidence.” – Mary Farris, a Winchester resident and patient
