If you have had heart problems such as stable angina (chest pain), Myocardial Infarction (MI) (heart attack), Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG), Valve Repair Replaced, a Stent placement, or Heart Transplant, we can provide a medically supervised program for your rehabilitation needs. Designed to assist patients toward a safe recovery, our program draws on the talents of cardiologists, cardiac nurses, exercise physiologists, dietitians, rehabilitation therapists and vocational counselors.
