Join Hamilton Healthcare System during AACVPR National Cardiac Rehabilitation Week 2021, February 14 – 20, 2021, to celebrate the life-saving impact of cardiac rehabilitation. Hamilton Healthcare System honors the role of cardiac rehabilitation professionals in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease and improving quality of life for patients and their families.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), coincides with both Valentine’s Day and American Heart Month to draw greater national attention to heart health. This year’s theme, “New Start Better Heart,” honors the patients, families, and healthcare professionals who are dedicated to giving cardiac rehabilitation patients a new start.

The cardiac rehab program at Hamilton Healthcare System is a ACCVPR certified program that offers education and conditioning exercises for patients with heart disease such as recent heart attack, stent placement, heart surgery, valve replacement, and heart failure.

The cardiac rehab program is located in the Wellness Center across from the Rural Health Clinic on the Hamilton Healthcare System Campus.

Please talk to your physician regarding cardiac rehabilitation or for more information on the cardiac rehabilitation program, please contact: David Rodriguez, BA, RRT, RCP, Director – Cardiopulmonary Services at 254-386-1887.
