Cardiac Rehabilitation
Wellstar’s world-class cardiac rehabilitation team works together to help people learn lifelong heart-healthy behaviors and lower their risk for future heart issues.

The goal of cardiac rehabilitation is to significantly decrease or eliminate the risk factors that cause a progression of coronary artery disease. We start with a thorough evaluation, then create a plan of monitored exercise, lifestyle education and emotional support designed just for you.
