Cardiac Rehabilitation

Keep Your Heart Healthy For Years to Come

Kirby Medical Center offers Phase II and III Cardiac Rehabilitation programs. Our team will create a plan from a combination of physical exercise, education, and counseling designed specifically for each patient’s needs.

Both programs are designed for the patient to become more physically fit and to acquire a better understanding of their disease while learning to minimize their risk for further problems.

• Phase II Cardiac Rehab – This is an outpatient program for patients who have recently suffered a cardiac event like a heart attack. Participants perform customized exercises while wearing a heart monitor three times a week. The program lasts from 6-12 weeks, and includes education on lifestyle and dietary changes to improve hearth health.
• Phase III Cardiac Rehab – Once a patient has completed Phase II Rehab, they may continue therapy in Phase III if they have enough risk factors that more assistance is needed. Participants monitor their progress under the supervision of the rehabilitation staff.
