With the right guidance, you can help prevent the onset of many heart illnesses. That's why our dedication to providing expert heart care includes programs for prevention and wellness.

Whether you're trying to quit smoking or develop a healthy diet, we can help. Our Calendar of Events includes frequent education and support programs for people seeking a heart-healthy lifestyle. We also offer private nutrition counseling, exercise, and weight loss programs to help you reach your personal goals.

Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program also offers help to patients who have previously suffered a heart attack or received heart surgery as part of treatment.

Persons with heart disease or risk factors for developing heart disease can enroll in a program to allow them to live a healthier life. The Dr. Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease is a comprehensive lifestyle modification program designed to assist participants in the management of heart disease by addressing key risk factors associated with its onset and progression. Through healthy lifestyle modification, the Ornish Program teaches participants how to improve their health and well being to live longer and healthier.

“We are pleased to be able to provide our patients with access to a program that has been nationally recognized for its success in improving the health of participants,” said Lexi Robinson, director, Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab, and Dean Ornish program director at Jefferson Regional Medical Center.
