    Cardiac Rehab

    Cardiac Rehab is a personalized treatment program that helps heart patients live longer and healthier lives. The program helps individuals recover from a cardiac event and prevent a second one as well as help manage peripheral artery disease (PAD).

    • Benefits

      According to the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR) the benefits of a Cardiac Rehab program can include:
      • Live longer and lessen your chances of another cardiac event.
      • Control heart disease symptoms such as chest pain or shortness of breath.
      • Stop or reverse damage to the blood vessels in your heart.
      • Lessen the physical and emotional effects of heart disease.
      • Improve your stamina and strength, getting you back to your usual activities, including work, hobbies and regular excercise.
      • Improve your confidence and wellbeing.

      Recent scientific studies have shown that people who complete a cardiac rehabilitation program can increase their life expectancy by up to five years.

    • Who Can Participate

      Anyone with a doctor's referral and has had a cardiac event such as:
      • Congestive Heart Failure
      • Myocardial Infarction (Heart Attack)
      • Heart Cath/Angioplasty
      • Stent Placement
      • Heart Transplant
      • Open Heart Surgery (Coronary Bypass or Valve Surgery)
      • Stable Angina
      • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) If you experience leg pain when excercising, see your primary care provider to check for possible PAD.
    • Meeting Your Needs

      Our Cardiac Rehab program is designed to meet your specific needs through:
      • Risk Factor Assessments
      • Personalized Excercise Program that progresses from a structured, monitored program to a more independent, less monitored home program
      • Diet Instruction
      • Education focused on lifestyle changes and disease management
      • Emotional Support
      • Assistance and training to monitor blood pressure, lipids/cholesterol and diabetes
      • Facilitate communication with your doctors about your progress
    • Meeting Your Goals

      Your personalized program will help you meet your goals including:
      • Increase functional capacity (the ability to carry out activities)
      • Reduce risk factors
      • Improve the quality of life
      • Return to work
      • Improve outlook and emotional stability
      • Increase knowledge about the disease
      • Increase self-management

    Laboratory

    Our laboratory department works closely with physicians in the surrounding areas as well as throughout the state. Test results can be mailed or faxed directly to physicians, which allows patients to undergo tests close to home even if their physician is outside of the community. Most testing is completed within hours, but when a test requires a special reference laboratory, the results are typically available within 2-3 days. All normal test results are also available to patients through our patient portal.

    All of our laboratory technologists and technicians are specially trained and certified.  In addition, they maintain high quality control standards for each test they perform to ensure absolute accuracy and reliability.

    Call Meade District Hospital at (620) 873-2141 and ask for Tammy Bird, Director of the Laboratory Department, for a comprehensive service menu to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of various illnesses.
