Heart disease is a leading cause of death in the United States, often striking without warning. Even after experiencing a heart attack or similar cardiac event, there's hope for recovery. Cardiac Rehabilitation at Daviess Community Hospital offers personalized exercise and dietary plans to help repair heart damage, reduce artery plaque, and lower the risk of future cardiac events.
We welcome patients for cardiac rehabilitation if they have experienced any of the following:

At Daviess Community Hospital, we tailor cardiac rehabilitation sessions to meet your specific diagnosis and recovery needs. Our comprehensive program includes the following phases:
Our cardiac rehabilitation program mirrors your activity level at home while closely monitoring your heart. We use various equipment, including treadmills, Airdyne bikes, arm ergometers, NuStep exercisers, and free weights, to enhance your heart and muscle strength and endurance.
