Support

Adjusting to a serious health problem often takes time. You may feel depressed or anxious, lose touch with your social support system, or have to stop working for several weeks. Emotional support and encouragement from our caring staff and our supportive member community will help you not feel alone and give you motivation to return to an active lifestyle.

Although it may be difficult to start a cardiac rehabilitation program when you’re not feeling well, you’ll benefit in the long run. Cardiac rehabilitation helps you rebuild your life, both physically and emotionally. As you get stronger and learn how to manage your condition, you’ll likely return to a normal routine, along with your new diet and exercise habits. It’s important to know that your chances of having a successful cardiac rehab program rest largely with you; the more dedicated you are to following your program’s recommendations, the better you’ll do.

When you’ve had open-heart surgery like me, you worry about having a heart attack while exercising. Thanks to wonderful cardiac nurses and inspiration from my exercise friends at HeartFit For Life. I have come back stronger and fitter than I have been in years.
