Special Programs

The cardio and pulmonary rehabilitation programs at Prowers Medical Center offer supervised exercise training, emotional support and patient and family education. The program runs 3 days a week for 12 weeks and is designed to help patients manage their underlying disease.

Goals for Cardiac Rehabilitation

  • Change lifestyle habits
  • Gradually move into a more intense exercise program that lets you work longer & harder
  • Improve your cardiovascular fitness
  • Reduce personal risk factors for heart disease and learn to manage them

Goals for Pulmonary Rehabilitation

  • Fewer hospitalizations and use of medical resources
  • Reversal of muscle deconditioning
  • Reduce respiratory symptoms such as dyspnea
  • Improve psychosocial symptoms such as anxiety and depression
