Cardiac Rehab
Our goal is to help people with heart disease participate actively and confidently in their own recovery so they can return, as much as possible, to the life they enjoyed before heart disease. The cardiac rehabilitation program at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands began in 2005 and more recently moved from within the hospital, over to a larger first floor, outpatient space in Medical Plaza 4.
The cardiac rehabilitation program is a three-phase, multidimensional, medically supervised program designed to help patients recover as quickly as possible from heart disease. With a comprehensive focus on guided exercise, education and lifestyle change, the program is designed to improve overall physical and mental functioning.
Patients who participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program following heart surgery or a diagnosis of heart disease tend to have better outcomes in managing their condition.
*Physician referral is required for outpatient cardiac rehabilitation.
