Cardiac Rehabilitation
An important part of Merit Health River Region’s heart care is helping patients return to the activities they enjoy. The multidisciplinary rehab team works together to provide a customized approach that meets each patient's needs.
Our cardiac rehabilitation program consists of:
- Learning sessions on heart disease, lifestyle changes and medications
- One-on-one work with the experienced cardiac rehab team
- Telemetry monitored, medically supervised exercise
Cardiac rehabilitation usually lasts between 8-12 weeks (12, 24, or 36 sessions) with 2-3 sessions per week. Merit Health River Region also offers a maintenance program that allows you to continue cardiac rehab for as long as you want
The cardiac rehabilitation department is located on the second floor in Merit Health River Region's medical office building and offers the benefit of physician supervision.
