Cardiac rehabilitation is a specially supervised program to help individuals recover from heart surgery or heart attack. At Harrington, we also offer cardiac rehabilitation for those with congestive heart failure, as well as other heart diseases.
We begin with the diagnosis of heart disease and extend beyond the recovery phase.
Patients are encouraged to play an active role in their care by recognizing the importance of changes in lifestyle, nutrition, and fitness.
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program offers individualized treatment to patients by inviting them to participate in exercise, strength-training, counseling and education sessions with the goal of returning to better health.
Most heart disease patients can lower their risk of future health events by taking the lead in improving their health.
We will work with you to determine your best care plan, and help you navigate the insurance paperwork necessary to complete the program.
• Assisting individuals to identify and modify their risk factors, increase their physical activity and return to an active and satisfying lifestyle;
