Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac rehabilitation is a critical component of managing your heart disease. Through comprehensive exercise, education and behavioral modification services, we give you the support and education you need as you commit to a new, heart-healthy lifestyle. Mercy Health cardiac rehabilitation programs are offered in the hospital after surgery and after you return home.
