Cardiac rehabilitation is an exercise and education program designed to improve your quality of life after you've had a heart attack or other heart problems.

Cardiac rehabilitation is a medically supervised program to help you recover after a heart attack, other forms of heart disease or heart surgery. Cardiac rehabilitation is often divided into phases that involve various levels of monitored exercise, nutritional counseling, emotional support, and support and education about lifestyle changes to reduce your risks of heart problems.

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a program of education and exercise classes that teach you about your lungs, how to exercise and do activities with less shortness of breath and how to “live” better with your lung condition.

The exercise classes will help you be more active with less shortness of breath. Usually, you will be exercising both your arms and legs. The exercise classes will help you feel better and become stronger by helping you get into better shape.

Education and exercise remain key elements in the success of treating people with pulmonary problems such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis and asthma. We also prepare people for heart and lung transplants as well as lung reduction surgery.

For further information or to register for any of these classes, call The Wellness Center at (661) 869-6580 or fax your request to (661) 323-2213.
