Services > Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation
The CMH CardioPulmonary Rehabilitation Program is designed to help patients who are recovering from heart or lung surgery or disease. The program consists of an individually prescribed regimen of exercise and education that can help you lead a healthy, active life even if you have heart disease or lung disease.
Once your physician has referred you to our Phase II CardioPulmonary Rehab Program, our skilled staff will design an exercise program for your own personal needs. They will assess your condition and gradually ease you into the program, so you can feel confident about exercise, even if you have never done it before.
You will probably attend rehab classes two or three times a week. Each one-hour session includes a monitored program for warming up, stretching, exercising, and cooling down. Exercise equipment includes treadmills, rowing machines, arm ergometers, stationary bicycles, free weights and more. Our computerized equipment will monitor your condition throughout each session and will help our staff know exactly how your heart is responding to the exercise. For most patients, the program lasts for 8 – 12 weeks. At the end of that time, you will have the option of enrolling in our maintenance program, which will help you retain the conditioning you have received.
The cost of CardioPulmonary is based on each session attended. Medicare generally covers at least 80% of the program; Medicare supplemental insurance policies will usually pay the balance.
