Cardiac Rehab Services

Cardiac Rehabilitation programs involve four phases. We do Phases II and III and IV at Pioneer Memorial Hospital & Health Services.

Phase I

• Implemented as an inpatient program.
• Consists of education and low-level exercise
• Designed for patients who have had a myocardial infarction, stable angina or coronary artery bypass surgery
• Occurs in hospital setting

Phase II

• Implemented as an outpatient program
• Designed to increase cardiovascular condition through exercise
• Provides education on coronary artery disease, risk factors, healthy nutrition, and exercise
• Monitored by RNs who are certified in Advanced Cardiac Life Support
• Encourages family participation
• Designed for patients with stable angina, post heart attack, post balloon angioplasty/stent, or coronary artery bypass grafting
• Covered by Medicare and most insurance plans

You must be referred by a physician for the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program. Cardiac Rehab is scheduled on Monday, Wednesday and Friday at Pioneer Memorial.

Phase III

• Implemented as an outpatient program
• Designed for individuals who want to develop an independent exercise program to increase cardiovascular condition
• May be a continuation from Phase II for participants who desire additional guidance in their exercise program, or who are at a high risk for cardiac problems.
• A self-pay program

This is a transitioning phase back into one's normal routine, and is directed by our physical therapy team.
