Cardiac Rehabilitation

The Cardiac Rehabilitation program at Memorial's 16th Ave Pavilion teaches patients with established heart disease how to recognize and modify their coronary risk factors. The cardiac rehab team works with patients and their physicians to improve functional capacity, lessen activity-related symptoms and reduce disability through a blend of exercise training and educational classes. Each individualized program lasts between six and 12 weeks depending on patient need.

  • A dedicated facility with the sole aim of returning patients to physical health.
  • Classes to help patients learn to manage coronary risk factors and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
