Recover. Rebuild. Renew.
If you’ve recently experienced a heart attack, undergone open-heart surgery, or had an angioplasty, you’re likely wondering how to regain your strength, restore your confidence, and get back to life. At Ellenville Regional Hospital, our community-based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program is here to support you every step of the way.
We offer expert guidance, education, and individualized care to help you navigate the road to recovery—physically, emotionally, and practically. Our multidisciplinary team includes a cardiac rehab nurse, physical therapist, physician, clinical dietitian, and clinical pharmacist, all working together to help you reach your goals and reduce the risk of future heart problems.
Cardiac rehab is ideal for patients recovering from:
Heart attack
Coronary artery bypass surgery
Angioplasty or stent placement
Valve repair or replacement
Stable heart failure or other qualifying heart conditions
Improving your cardiovascular health after a cardiac event is critical—but it must be done gradually and safely under expert supervision. Speak with your cardiologist or primary care provider about whether cardiac rehab is appropriate for you, and ask for a referral to ERH Cardiac Rehab.
Our 10 to 12-week program combines supervised exercise and comprehensive education to help you:
Regain strength and stamina
Lower your risk of future cardiac events
Improve your quality of life
Adopt sustainable, heart-healthy habits
You’ll attend three sessions per week, each lasting approximately one hour.
Knowledge is a powerful part of recovery. Our education sessions—open to both patients and family members—cover:
How the heart works
Risk factors and lifestyle management
Heart-healthy nutrition
Smoking cessation
Medication management
Stress reduction
Resuming sexual and physical activity
We provide easy-to-follow written materials and resources to reinforce learning and encourage long-term heart health.
Each session includes a warm-up, aerobic exercise using specialized equipment, and a cool-down. Our equipment includes:
Landice treadmill
SCIFIT Step One Recumbent Stepper
Recumbent bicycles
Water rower
SCIFIT PRO 1000 UBE (Upper Body Exerciser)
Recumbent elliptical
Your progress will be monitored closely, and we’ll provide guidance for safe exercise at home as well.
Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
8:00 AM – 12:00 PM
If you require additional medical support—such as cholesterol management or smoking cessation treatment—we’ll coordinate care with your provider or refer you to trusted professionals within our network.
Medicare and most major insurance plans cover cardiac rehabilitation services. If cost is a concern, you may be eligible for our financial assistance program. Our team will work with you to ensure access to the care you need.
Cardiac rehab is one of the most effective ways to recover your strength, prevent future heart issues, and embrace a healthier life.
