Cardiopulmonary Services
Your heart is in the very best hands.
Having a heart attack or heart surgery can be a lonely, frightening experience. Fortunately, most people recover and are able to return to their normal work and leisure activities—but recovery does not happen by itself. At Alomere Health, we’ve developed a team of cardiac rehabilitation professionals to help you with your recovery, every step of the way.
The most important member of our team is you. Other members include your physician, a specially trained nurse, physical therapist, dietician, pharmacies, and a respiratory care practitioner.
Our goals are to assist you in improving your heart and lung function with monitored graded exercise, helping you become aware of and modify factors that put you at a higher risk for developing further heart problems and also provide support to you and your family during this crisis.
We support you with a two-phase program.
Phase I is the inpatient program, beginning in the hospital with low-level activity and 1:1 education.
Phase II is the outpatient program beginning after discharge from the hospital with close observation, telemetry monitoring while exercising, group education, and follow-up reports to your physician. On discharge, you are encouraged to continue with your home exercise program or enroll in one of many community exercise programs.
For more information on cardiac rehab, contact our team at 320-762-6005.
