A Continuum of Cardiopulmonary Care
We want to give you leading heart care long after your trip to the emergency room or your diagnosis. Our elite team of cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation experts provide you with specialized therapy designed to help you live a better, more heart-healthy life. Our team includes registered nurses, exercise physiologist, and registered dietitians. The program extends over three phases:
Phase 1 helps people while in our facility to reduce heart and lung disease risk factors through lifestyle change education.
Phase 2 is an outpatient, EKG-monitored exercise program that starts after you leave our facility. It focuses on advanced heart-health improvement through supervised exercise, stress management, education, and nutritional guidance.
Phase 3 is a supervised maintenance program to continue building your cardiopulmonary fitness upon completion of phase 2.
Our programs have helped people feel better, live heart-healthy lives, improve their strength, and reduce the risk of more cardiopulmonary events. To get started, call Call863-386-7180.

Know Your Heart Disease Risk
To feel whole, it’s important to keep your heart healthy and strong. As the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States, heart disease can be silent for many people. You can take charge of your health today, and the first step is knowing your risk.
Early Heart Attack Care (EHAC) education can help you recognize the warning signs of a heart attack. By learning about the early signs of cardiac arrest and understanding the risk factors, you could help a loved one (or yourself) get critical care faster — which can greatly improve outcomes.
