Admission to a cardiac rehabilitation program is by a physician's referral, and in most cases is covered by insurance.

Riverside Methodist Hospital

Riverside provides cardiac education by the RNs (Registered Nurses) and by inpatient cardiac educators (also Registered Nurses). The education begins before you leave the hospital via written materials, videos and/or a class. These materials are provided to help those with heart disease or angina and those who have had a heart attack or coronary bypass surgery.

For both physical and emotional well-being, rehabilitation continues after your hospital discharge and is available at the McConnell Heart Health Center.

Grady Memorial Hospital

Grady's Cardiac Rehabilitation department provides exercise, education, and testing for cardiac patients on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Rehabilitation takes many forms, from individualized exercise programs with careful monitoring to nutrition guidelines and cardiac medications. Physicians and nurses work closely with cardiac patients to ensure that their rehabilitation program contributes to long-term cardiac health.

Grady physicians work with recovering cardiac patients to create targeted plans for full rehabilitation. They consider how patients respond to exercise tolerance tests and take into account other patient factors such as cholesterol level and medical history. The patient's ongoing progress will impact future refinements in the recovery plan.
