Reduce Your Risk

We believe our program is life-changing! National statistics report that patients who complete Cardiac Rehab programs drastically reduce risk:

• 47% lower risk of death
• 31% lower risk of heart attack

We are confident our CR program will help you decrease the chance of re-hospitalization following a cardiac event. It will help your heart recover and help prevent future cardiac events.
