McKenzie Launches Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation Programs

To support those recovering from heart surgery, transplants, congestive heart failure, and other serious issues, McKenzie Health System recently launched a cardiac rehabilitation program. As a complement, the hospital will also introduce a new pulmonary rehab program on November 1 to help those with chronic lung disease.

Both medically supervised programs include a focus on the “road to recovery,” including pain management, diet, and exercise, stress management, medication, and more. Designed to increase heart and/or lung health, the rehabilitation programs promote health and wellness, manage risk factors and tackle everyday sources of stress. They both take place at the hospital campus.

“A solid rehab program can make all the difference in the world when it comes to a patient’s recovery and overall wellness, so we are incredibly proud to offer holistic options for both cardiac and pulmonary rehab,” said Medical Director Dr. James Sams of McKenzie Health System, who is directing both programs. “These programs will help people increase their quality of life, return to work, control symptoms, and prevent future issues.”
