Cardiac Rehabilitation

The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Jefferson Regional provides a comprehensive, individualized exercise and education treatment plan for those with heart disease, or who have undergone invasive cardiac treatments including:

      Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

      Valve Repair/Replacement

      Angioplasty or Stent Placement

      Heart Transplant

Our goal is to guide you toward wellness, and provide the tools you need to maintain a healthy, active lifestyle. During each exercise session, the blood pressure, heart rate, EKG, and oxygen saturation levels of all participants are closely monitored to ensure an optimal experience, and a safe return to daily activities. Individual education from our rehabilitation staff helps guide each participant through a successful transition to a heart-healthy, active life.

The benefits from the program are maximized through a professional staff of registered nurses, clinical exercise physiologists, registered dieticians and behavioral health specialists, working closely with your cardiologist to provide feedback on your progress.

The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is a covered service by most insurance companies. The Rehabilitation Department will contact your insurance company to verify coverage and will obtain all necessary referrals by working with your physician’s office.

The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is located on the main Jefferson Regional campus. For more information, or to schedule an appointment, please call 412-469-5045.
