The Martin Health cardiac and pulmonary maintenance program is designed to meet the needs of patients and family members during and after hospitalization or cardiac/pulmonary event.

Phase I:  Education (Inpatient)

Phase I is an in-hospital program.  In this phase, patients learn how to modify heart and lung disease risk factors through a change in lifestyle behavior.  Continued education for the patients and family members continues throughout the rehabilitation program via videos, classes and handouts.

Cardiac Rehab Nurse and Patient

Phase II:  Monitored Exercise (Outpatient)

  • A registered nurse establishes an exercise plan designed to meet individual needs
  • Up to 36, sixty-minute EKG-monitored exercise sessions
  • Educational programs on coronary risk reduction and lifestyle modification

Upon completion of the program, patients are ready and able to continue their home exercise program or join the maintenance program (Phase III) at any one of the three Martin Health & Fitness Centers.

Phase III:  Maintenance Program
