Cardiac Rehabilitation

A comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program is offered for patients who are recovering from a heart attack, surgery or other heart condition. Phase 2 cardiac rehab is usually covered by insurance.  You will need to contact your provider to ensure coverage. The focus of this phase is to work on physical skills to return to your normal activities and provide you with extensive education about your heart condition, your risk factors and how to incorporate changes for better health. Continuous heart monitoring and frequent vital sign assessment by the rehab staff ensures a safe exercise program of six to eight weeks, usually three time per week. In addition, we routinely update your physician on your progress.

Cardiac rehabilitation appointments are scheduled at St. Michael's Hospital in Sauk Centre. When your family physician refers you to the cardiac rehabilitation department at St. Michael's, you will receive a call to schedule an appointment.
