Cardiovascular Wellness Program
The Cardiovascular Wellness Program is an exercise, education program dedicated to promoting health and wellness. It is staffed by specialty volunteers and student interns. We supported by the Foundation for Health through Knowledge and Action, a non-profit agency.
About Us
Who Can Participate
The Cardiovascular Wellness Program is for those with cardiovascular disease or those at risk. The focus is on developing and maintaining a heart-healthy lifestyle through exercise, stress management, and nutrition. For those who have had cardiac events, they must have completed monitored phases of a hospital-based cardiac rehabilitation program or be at least 12 months post-event.
A Community of Support
We are a program staffed by specialty volunteers and student interns. All exercise is supervised by emergency medical personnel, ACLS-certified nurses, and an exercise physiologist. On our speciality volunteer staff, physicians, registered nurses, a physical therapist, and a registered dietitian visit regularly for supervision and education. Our student interns come from multiple disciplines including, physical therapy, gerontology, nutrition, and psychology.
