All program candidates are interviewed prior to entering the program. The individual assessment includes a health history and review of risk factors. Using a team approach, we assess the candidate’s needs as well as develop and implement a plan of care.

Participants include those who have experienced: 

• Acute myocardial infarction (heart attack) within the past 12 months 
• Coronary artery bypass surgery 
• Current, stable chest pain (angina pectoris) 
• Heart valve repair or replacement 
• Angioplasty or stenting to open blocked coronary arteries 
• Heart or heart-lung transplant surgery 
• Stable, chronic heart failure

If you have experienced one or more of these, please speak to your doctor about participating in our program or call us at 609-537-6420.

Those recovering from a heart-related illness or treatment procedure begin with a personalized program. It consists of telemetry-monitored exercise, plus lifestyle modification under the direction of physicians and supervision of nurses and exercise physiologists.

Our team focuses on helping participants understand, cope and live successfully with heart disease. Each participant in this phase of the program will have an individualized consultation with a registered dietitian.

Individual and group classes are offered regularly on topics such as: 

• Heart health 
• Risk factor reduction 
• Nutrition 
• Stress management 
• Exercise guidelines
• Medications
