Cardiac Rehabilitation

With rehab programs on the campus of St. Mary's Hospital and at Fields-Wright Medical Facility in Sullivan, we offer convenient, quality care close to home. Our program is goal-oriented to enhance wellness and improve your cardiopulmonary risk profile through exercise, education, and support.

  • Graduated exercises are adapted to meet your individual needs, limitations and goals.

  • Education to identify risk factors and methods to improve cardiovascular health are offered to you and your family through one-on-one sessions and group education.
  • Ancillary services are also available for dietary, pharmacological, psychosocial, and/or spiritual needs.

Benefits of our structured program of exercise and education include improvement of your risk profile and enhancement of cardiopulmonary strength and endurance.

Heart Care as a Team

 

There are many signs that a heart attack may be near, and as Pastor Terry Leach tells us, you want to be aware of those signs.

Thanks to the quick work of HSHS St. Mary's Hospital and Prairie Cardiovascular Consultants, Terry is doing great and on his way to a full recovery with St. Mary's Cardiac Rehab program.

Supervised Exercise Therapy Program

 

Supervised Exercise Therapy is designed for patients with Intermittent Claudication resulting from Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). St. Mary's encourages patients with PAD to understand the benefits of attending supervised excercise therapy including:

  • improvement in functional capacity

  • decreased symptoms while walking

  • achieve systemic risk-reduction benefits.

Investing in the SET PAD program at St. Mary's will improve access for people suffering from Intermittent Claudication (IC) resulting from PAD in our community!

Participation in the Supervised Exercise Therapy Program allows patients to increase:

  • walking distances.

  • quality of life.

  • overall functional capacity.
