GETTING BACK TO LIVING AFTER CARDIAC PROBLEMS
Many cardiac patients need additional recovery support after their medically-supervised cardiac rehab program. Our Post Cardiac Rehabilitation program helps transition an individual into a community based wellness center, providing the ongoing support necessary to continue recovery. The goal of the 12 week program is to help sustain the long-term healthy habits through weekly 1 hour sessions.

“Since being in the program, I have been able to decrease my milligram intake of blood pressure medicine and, in turn, I have lowered my blood pressure.”

HOW IT WORKS
Our goal is to help you gain long-term healthy habits and enjoy physical fitness and healthy lifestyle choices as a way of life. After a medically-supervised rehab program is complete, recovery continues with our Post-Cardiac rehab program.
These supportive, small group classes are facilitated by a certified personal trainer, supporting patients’ continued progression to health. Research has long shown that appropriate physical activity combined with a healthy diet can decrease the recurrence of heart disease for cardiac patients. The Hockomock Area YMCA employs a team of certified fitness and nutrition professionals who provide individualized instruction, guidance, and motivation so that recovery is a positive experience. Included in this program is a no charge twelve-week membership for participants and their families.
