Unity Cardiac Rehab

Unity Cardiac Rehab, located at 687 Lee Road in Greece, is a medically supervised program of exercise and patient education that offers all phases of cardiac recuperation including:

• Inpatient hospital care
• Outpatient care
• Maintenance program
• Preventive care

The program's goal is to offer patients the opportunity to return to normal activities following a major cardiac event, restore patient health, and improve quality of life. A team of health professionals, including the medical director, registered nurses with critical care training and experience, certified exercise physiologists, and dietitians establish a program based on the patient's individual medical situation, lifestyle, and abilities. The team supervises the ongoing care and education of program participants.

The cardiac rehabilitation program consists of three phases:

• Phase I consists of inpatient hospital care, including staff visits and assessments as well as education and information for those who have had a cardiac event.
• Phase II is an intensive 36-session rehabilitation program of exercise and education for those who have had a specific heart event such as heart attack, by-pass surgery or angioplasty and who have been referred by their primary care physician or cardiologist. This monitored program offers a choice of class times for participation three times each week over a 12-week period.
• Phase III is a program designed for all ages. It is specifically geared for those with heart disease who have either completed a 12-week monitored program or just need a maintenance exercise program. We offer ongoing professional exercise guidance, blood pressure and heart rate monitoring, as well as educational classes. We also address the at-risk population who need to diet and exercise to prevent a coronary event.
