Where is Saint Alphonsus Hospital?
Our Saint Alphonsus locations in both Boise and Nampa, Idaho are pleased to offer certified Cardiac Rehabilitation programs designed to help patients who have had a cardiovascular event, such as a heart attack, coronary bypass surgery, coronary stent, heart transplant, heart valve repair or replacement, or heart related chest discomfort (angina). Under the direction of a cardiologist, a multidisciplinary team composed of a cardiac nurse, respiratory therapist and an exercise specialist design an individualized care plan for each patient with the goal of preventing future cardiovascular events.
Does cardiac rehabilitation increase recovery?
Cardiac Rehabilitation is proven to increase the rate of recovery and significantly diminish the possibility of another cardiovascular episode. Both the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology recommend Cardiac Rehabilitation programs.
