Comprehensive Cardiovascular Rehab Services
Cardiac, Vascular, and Pulmonary Rehabilitation at Blanchard Valley Health System
At Blanchard Valley Health System, our cardiac, vascular, and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are thoughtfully designed to help you safely recover and regain strength following a cardiac event or chronic condition. These comprehensive programs aim to support your return to a healthy, active lifestyle through structured exercise, personalized education, and continuous medical oversight.
Rehabilitation is a key step in restoring overall health and confidence. Through progressively guided exercise sessions and informative classes, participants gain the knowledge and tools to better manage their condition and care for their heart and lungs.
Expert Care Team Focused on You
The Heminger Heart and Vascular Center’s rehabilitation team comprises a multidisciplinary group of highly trained professionals. This includes physicians, registered nurses, respiratory therapists, and exercise physiologists specializing in cardiac, pulmonary, and vascular care. Together, they provide compassionate support and customized care throughout your recovery journey.
Safe and Monitored Rehabilitation
Your safety is our top priority. During your rehab sessions, our team uses specialized monitoring equipment to track your progress and ensure your vital signs remain in a safe range. Blood pressure is checked regularly, and oxygen levels are carefully monitored during pulmonary rehab. Your physician immediately communicates any concerns to ensure seamless, continuous care.
Getting Started and What to Expect
To begin a rehabilitation program, you must receive a referral from your physician. Once referred, you’ll complete a physical examination and an exercise evaluation. This helps our team understand your current fitness level and develop a personalized exercise plan tailored to your specific health needs and goals. Your referring physician will remain updated on your progress throughout the program.
Insurance and Program Costs
Outpatient cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation services are typically covered in part by Medicare and most major insurance providers. However, the maintenance phase of the program is generally not covered by Medicare or third-party insurance plans. Despite this, we offer the maintenance program at an affordable rate to help you continue your progress without interruption. For detailed coverage information, we recommend speaking directly with your insurance representative.
Whether recovering from a heart condition, managing a vascular issue, or improving your lung function, our rehabilitation programs offer the expertise, resources, and encouragement to help you thrive. At Blanchard Valley Health System, we’re here to support your journey to better health every step of the way.
Before you begin one of our rehabilitation programs, a physician’s referral is required. Your physician will be kept up-to-date on your progress. A physical exam and exercise evaluation will also be completed. This will help to evaluate your functional work capacity so we can develop an effective exercise regimen that fits your needs.
