A cardiac rehabilitation center is designed and structured to help you recover from cardiovascular disease, a cardiac procedure or make the lifestyle changes needed to prevent future events. After suffering from a heart attack, bypass surgery or angioplasty, your focus is on getting back to living a normal lifestyle. Cardiac rehabilitation is a structured program of education and activities that guide you towards a healthier future.
At Preston Memorial Hospital, we are thrilled for the opening of our Cardiac Rehab Center. We hope to meet the cardiovascular needs of patients suffering from cardiovascular disease, post heart attack, congestive heart failure, angioplasty and stenting. Our center features a team of skilled physicians, specialists and nurses who will provide an individualized plan of exercise, diet, education and emotional support.
While it might be difficult to start cardiac rehabilitation after a life-altering event like a heart attack, you’ll benefit in the long run. Cardiac rehabilitation helps you rebuild your life by increasing functional capacity, reducing risk factors, improving outlook and increasing knowledge. It’s normal to have fear and anxiety after a cardiovascular event. Know that the dedication you put into your rehabilitation will help you get back to a normal routine.
At Preston Memorial Hospital, we have a strong commitment to providing personalized care and service for the Kingswood community. We saw a need for individualized cardiovascular care and rehabilitation service and put the Cardiac Rehab Center in motion. We know that hospitalization is never an entirely pleasant experience, but we do our best to make you as comfortable as possible.
