  • Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehabilitation

    MLMH offers a comprehensive program for cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation.  The cardiac program is nationally certified by the AACVPR.  Outpatient rehab is located in the Medical Services Building on 1st Floor. 

    Cardiac Rehabilitation

    The program is a combination of monitored exercise therapy and education sessions designed to help reduce the progression of coronary heart disease and to promote healthy living. Each participant is treated on an individual basis according to his or her treatment plan, needs and limitations.

    The cardiac rehabilitation sessions are held in the Medical Services Building three times per week. Sessions are scheduled throughout the day and each session takes approximately one hour. Your number of visits are based on your insurance provider and your progression in the program. The rehabilitation team consists of registered nurses, exercise specialists, dieticians, diabetes educators, and your physician.

    If you have known coronary artery disease, a recent heart attack or surgery, or stable angina, you may be a candidate for the program. Participation requires a physician order and reimbursement is based on your insurance provider. Following the monitored sessions there is a maintenance program for those who wish to continue their exercise at our facility.

    Pulmonary Rehabilitation

    This program is designed to assist you in expanding your capabilities through education and exercise. The rehabilitation team instructs you in proper and safe levels of exercise while monitoring your oxygen saturation and tolerance to exercise. Exercise will strengthen your muscles, improve your stamina, and condition your heart and lungs so that oxygen can be utilized more effectively. The education is designed to reduce further problems and promote a healthy lifestyle.

    If your have a chronic lung disease, frequent visits to the physician or hospital for lung related problems, or an increased shortness of breath due to lung diagnosis, you may be a candidate for the rehabilitation program.

    Pulmonary Rehabilitation is offered at MLMH three times per week and each session takes approximately one hour. A typical program lasts approximately 10 weeks, but length of your program may vary depending on your insurance provider. At the conclusion of your monitored sessions, we offer a maintenance program that you may attend if you choose to continue your exercise at this facility.
