Close to the Heart – and Lungs
The heart and lungs are life-sustaining organs, and when something goes wrong with them, it can dramatically impact your quality of life. Methodist Medical Center offers rehabilitation services accredited by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation, to help you get back on track if you experience illness or events that affect your heart or lungs..
Rehabilitation helps lung and heart patients begin their recovery journey with a multidisciplinary approach that includes:
- Education
- Regular monitored exercise
- Risk identification
- Individualized programs
A Collaborative Approach to Rehabilitation
Methodist’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation programs are tailored to meet the specific needs of each individual patient. Through exercise and education, you learn how to manage daily limitations you may face with chronic heart or lung disease.
Our rehab staff works with your doctor and with you to develop a plan of care. The cardiologist or pulmonologist, nurse educators, dietitians, exercise rehab specialists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and mental health professionals can also be part of the process as needed.
Working as a team sets you up for success with rehab goals that are attainable and that really do make a difference. We will help you gain knowledge, strength, and endurance in our medically supervised environment.
