Hospital, our goal is to help our patients maintain the best possible cardiac health by
providing the latest procedures, technologies and state-of- the-art facilities. This means we
are here to support you whether you are managing cardiovascular disease, recovering froma cardiac procedure, striving to prevent the onset of serious cardiac conditions down the
road or working to create a plan that will enable you to develop healthy habits for a
lifetime.
Cardiac rehab centers, such as the new facility at Preston Memorial Hospital, are designed
to offer medically supervised programs that will facilitate rehabilitation for individuals
who suffer from cardiovascular issues. Specialized programs are designed to improve
overall patient health and include a combination of physical and psychological health care
services.
Getting back to a normal life after bypass surgery, a heart attack or angioplasty is not
always easy. Our new Cardiac Rehab Center has the latest technological advances and
treatment plans to help patients suffering from heart-related conditions get back on their
feet quickly. This includes programs designed to provide important cardiac education to
help you make sensible choices. When these programs are vigilantly followed, they can
often help reverse the disease or reduce damage brought on by cardiovascular diseases
while providing overall health instruction and offering hope.
Preston Memorial’s Cardiac Rehab Center is manned by an excellent interdisciplinary team
of Dr. Richard Smith, III, Cardiologist, Joann Montague, Registered Nurse, and Ariel Burke,
Exercise Physiologist. This talented team of medical professionals works closely with
patients to develop comprehensive care plans that are created with the unique needs of the
individual in mind. In addition to physical health, emotional health issues that often
accompany heart-related problems are addressed by caring and conscientious health care
providers.
The daily mission of the staff at Preston Memorial Hospital’s Cardiac Rehab Center is to
help our patients reduce the overall risk of serious cardiovascular illnesses as well as the
potential for an untimely death because of a future heart attack. Treatment plans are
designed to help manage the pain associated with cardiovascular illness and improve a
patient’s quality of life.
