Inpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation

Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase I provides educational services for patients of Penrose-St. Francis Heart Institute who are hospitalized for open-heart surgery, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, and other coronary artery disease related diagnoses.  Trained cardiac nurses provide education about recovery, activity and coronary artery risk factor modification to patients and family members.

Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation 

Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase II is designed primarily for patients with a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, open-heart surgery, recent myocardial infarction, angioplasty, stent, or stable angina. This comprehensive program offers prescribed cardiovascular exercise, risk factor modification, education, on-going nursing assessment and referral to nutritionist and behavioral intervention based on individual need.  This multifaceted program limits the adverse physiologic and psychological effects of cardiac illness, reduces risk of sudden death or reinfarction, controls cardiac symptoms, stabilizes the atherosclerotic process and enhances the patient’s psychosocial and vocational status.

The Outpatient Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at Penrose-St. Francis is proud to be the first Nationally Accredited Cardiac Rehabilitation Program in Colorado.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase II is reimbursed by Medicare and most other payers.
