What is Cardiac Rehabilitation?
The Sky Lakes Cardiac Rehab program provides a tailored exercise and education plan for patients recovering from a cardiac event (heart attack, heart failure, heart surgery, etc).
Your healthcare specialist will thoroughly walk through how to care for your heart’s health moving forward, including a plan for exercise, diet, and managing stress.
This program includes meeting two times a week for 24 to 36 visits and includes 12 education sessions.
Why Cardiac Rehab?
Treating a cardiac event is only the first step in recovery. Studies have shown that participating in a cardiac rehab program is one of the most effective ways to get back to living a full and active life.
You Are Not Alone
As you partner with healthcare providers, family, and other patients in their rehab journey, you will have a strong support system to keep you on the path to better health.
