Located on the second floor of the hospital's 1932 building, our facility offers state-of-the-art equipment, including treadmills, bicycles, arm ergometers, recumbent steppers, rowing machines and free weights. Cardiac Rehab operates under the direction of a physician who serves as medical director, a registered nurse who oversees patients, an exercise specialist, social workers, dietitians and other health care professionals. Our team works closely together to develop individualized plans depending on your personal needs.
