Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Whether you’re recovering from a heart attack or heart procedure, you don’t have to go at it alone. Our Lady of the Lake offers cardiopulmonary rehabilitation services to help you feel better faster and reclaim a full and active life.

You’ll have access to your own dedicated team, including exercise physiologists, registered dietitians, cardiac nurses, licensed social workers and other specialists. They’ll work with you to create a personalized plan based on your unique needs and goals while supporting you every step of the way.

 

Programs Designed for the Whole You 

Studies show that patients who participate in cardiac rehabilitation are 30% less likely to experience future heart problems or complications from heart treatments. Our medically supervised program is designed to help you maximize your experience with both one-on-one and group sessions. Success centers on three key components:

Exercise

Regular physical activity strengthens your heart, mind and spirit. Our team will create a custom exercise program to build strength and stamina, while closely monitoring your heart’s activity before, during and after each workout.

Education

Even simple lifestyle changes may help dramatically reduce your risk of future heart problems. We’ll help you develop strategies to manage your personal factors and adopt healthier habits, such as eating right, losing weight, quitting smoking and lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. 

Support 

Emotional and mental health triggers can put a lot of strain on your heart. Get expert insight on how to better identify and cope with everyday sources of stress while boosting your overall health and wellness.

 

Start Your Journey to Better Heart Health 

Participation requires a referral from your doctor. You can call us directly at (225) 765-8736, or your doctor can provide a referral order.

Once the referral has been initiated, we will contact you to set up an orientation appointment and assist you with your insurance arrangements. Medicare and most insurance carriers typically cover at least 80% of the cost of services, but it is important to verify coverage prior.
