If you have recurrent angina, recently suffered a heart attack, or undergone heart surgery or coronary angioplasty, cardiac rehabilitation can help.

Through four months of exercise and education, the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at the Reh-Fit helps you to:

• understand the level of activity you can handle safely
• restore your health and strength
• improve your diet and lifestyle
• reduce cardiac symptoms
• develop a sense of well-being and confidence
• reduce depression and anxiety, which often develop during recovery
• decrease your risk of subsequent heart attacks.

The program has been offered at the Reh-Fit since the Centre opened in 1979. It helps reduce and, in some cases, eliminate risk factors for heart disease. This is particularly important for those who are at risk of having a heart attack or are recovering from a heart attack.

Anyone with cardiovascular disease can benefit from the Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at the Reh-Fit Centre.

Participants pay only a modest fee, with nearly all of the cost covered by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority. Some extended health insurance plans cover all or part of the fee.

Financial assistance may be provided based on individual need and the availability of funds.
