                      Cardiac Rehabilitation


                      An ounce of prevention pays off with a pound of well-being with North Okaloosa Medical Center's cardiac rehabilitation program. The program is designed to provide cardiac patients and their families with education about cardiac fitness and a new beginning to a healthier lifestyle. The emphasis is on education and progressive exercise monitored by the cardiac rehabilitation team.

                      The staff, in conjunction with your physician, supports you throughout the program and provides you with:

                      • Confidence to perform daily activities
                      • Education to help you attain a healthier lifestyle
                      • Motivation and encouragement
                      • Knowledgeable, professional guidance to help you adapt to a new lifestyle

                      Specialized rehabilitative services are designed to help patients with heart disease recover faster and return to full and productive lives by utilizing:

                      • Exercise: Physical activities tailored to the special needs, abilities and interests of patients.
                      • Education: Educational materials focused on the causes, treatments and management of heart issues.
                      • Counseling: Advice provided regarding how and why lifestyle changes can lower risk of further heart problems.
                      • Behavior change: Specific skills taught to enable you to stop smoking and start eating a heart-healthy diet with daily exercise

                      Cardiac rehabilitation is a benefit to all patients regardless of their age or gender. It can help make a difference and is an effective way to help you:

                      • Feel better faster
                      • Get stronger
                      • Reduce stress

                      • Improve blood cholesterol levels
                      • Lessen activity-related symptoms
                      • Reduce disability
                      • Reduce tobacco usage

                      Who can participate?
                      The cardiac rehabilitation program focuses on individuals who have heart disease or who are at high risk for heart disease, including patients who are:

                      • Recovering from a heart attack
                      • Recovering from coronary bypass surgery
                      • Recovering from coronary stent replacement
                      • Recovering from valve surgery
                      • Recovering from heart/lung transplant
                      • Living with stable angina

                      With your physician's referral, the staff will establish a personalized program tailored to meet your needs and capabilities.

                      What is the cost of cardiac rehabilitation?
                      This rehabilitation program is designed to support recovery from a medical condition. In most cases, insurance will cover part of the costs associated with the program for those qualified patients.

                      We recommend coverage be confirmed directly with insurance providers. If there is no insurance coverage, North Okaloosa Medical Center can help develop a specialized payment plan.

                      How to get started
                      A referral from your primary physician or cardiologist is the first step in becoming a participant in the North Okaloosa Medical Center's cardiac rehabilitation program. Schedule an appointment with your physician to determine if you are eligible. The outpatient component of the program generally begins at discharge from the hospital. A registered nurse and an exercise specialist will monitor this phase, which combines education, counseling and behavior changes. The 8- to 12-week phase usually consists of three 1-1½ hour exercise sessions per week. The program is customized for specific patient needs and requirements.
