Cardiac Rehabilitation

The goal of the Saint Joseph Mount Sterling Cardiac Rehabilitation program is to help patients recover after a heart attack or following heart surgery. Through medically supervised exercise, nutritional counseling, psychological support and education, patients can achieve a maximum level of independence and return to their normal activities.
