Beside Our Patients Every Step of the Way
Any type of heart problem causes concern for patients and their families. That’s why Providence doesn’t stop care when patients leave our facility. Our cardiac rehabilitation service includes phases I–IV and is one of the largest, most comprehensive programs on the West Coast.
Phase I – Treatment begins in the hospital when patients are recovering from a heart attack, surgery or other cardiac problem. Minimal activity and education are the focus.
Phase II – Soon after patients leave the hospital, our cardiac rehabilitation staff works with them to improve endurance and overall health through closely monitored exercise and classes.
Phase III – Maintaining heart health and preventing further problems is the goal of Phase III rehabilitation. Exercise plans are based on each patient’s goals, needs and health status.
Phase IV – Many patients continue to participate in rehabilitation for months and even years after a heart attack, surgery or other treatment. In fact, some Phase IV patients have been involved in our program for more than 10 years, participating in weekly classes and continuing to gain valuable insights from our dedicated, caring staff.
Our full range of rehab services help patients:
• Gain confidence
• Get much-needed emotional support
• Rebuild strength and stamina
• Learn to work within their limits
• Enjoy life
