Cardiac Care Close to Home
By Jim Burson, PT-MSPT, Director Of Rehabilitation
Therapy and Wellness Center - 530-832-6502
The Therapy and Wellness Center is adding Cardiac Rehab (CR) to its offerings.
Currently, patients travel to Reno or Truckee two to three days per week for up to 18 weeks for this service.
The program focuses on managing heart disease and recovery from cardiac events such as heart attack, heart valve replacement, stable but chronic heart failure, open heart surgery and more. It is also designed to reduce future heart risks. CR is a specialized course of therapy sessions prescribed by your medical provider.
A typical cardiac rehabilitation program consists of nutritional counseling, weight and diabetes management, smoking cessation, physical activity counseling and exercise training.
As of August 1st, EPHC is excited to offer this valuable service to our community.
