What Does Cardiopulmonary Rehab Include?
Our cardiopulmonary rehab program consists of up to 36 sessions completed over several weeks. Typically, patients visit our facility two or three days a week to see our experienced team of rehab specialists, including a registered nurse (RN), respiratory therapist, dietitian, and social worker.
Our sessions comprehensively cover your rehab needs, including:
- Education: Learn how to control symptoms, minimize risk factors, and prevent future complications from your condition. We give you the knowledge to make informed decisions about your health.
- Monitored Exercise: Your personalized exercise plan is geared to rebuild your strength and stamina. We monitor you closely to ensure you’re safe.
- Lifestyle Counseling: Personalized lifestyle counseling helps you manage the factors that can contribute to your condition. Counseling usually encompasses dietary guidance, weight management, smoking cessation, and other lifestyle changes.
- Social Support: A good support system is incredibly important when dealing with a serious or life-threatening medical problem. We help you establish that so you have ongoing resources to draw upon when needed.
- Stress Management: Recovering from a frightening medical event or dealing with a serious diagnosis can feel terrifying, which can spike your stress levels in an unhealthy way. We provide stress management resources that help you feel calm and in control.
Our multidisciplinary team at Summit Healthcare offers a comprehensive approach to optimizing your recovery and overall well-being, simultaneously addressing all these areas.
