Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation

Our Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehabilitation department is located on the Third Floor or Columbus Community Hospital. Registered Nurses, a Respiratory Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer help patients with heart and pulmonary disease recover faster and achieve optimal health.

Both programs include education and exercise tailored to the patient's abilities, needs and limitations. Staff also assists with Stress and Nuclear Stress Testing.

Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with cardiovascular problems including people who have had heart attacks and coronary artery bypass graft surgery. They also help people with pulmonary problems including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other respiratory issues. These programs help patients recover faster and improve their quality of life. Both programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families.

The Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation program is certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).

AACVPR program certification is the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review individual programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other professional societies. Each program is reviewed by the AACVPR Program Certification Committee and certification is awarded by the AACVPR Board of Directors. AACVPR-certified programs are recognized as leaders in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation because they offer the most advanced practices available. AACVPR Program Certification is valid for three years.
