Cardiac Rehabilitation Center at Cascade Medical

Our 2023 campaign will provide equipment and training for a Cardiac Rehabilitation Center at Cascade Medical to improve care available locally to cardiac patients in Leavenworth and the surrounding communities — including those recovering from heart attack, those who have had heart surgery and others who can benefit from cardiac rehabilitation, all without having to travel outside the area. The total funding needed is $87,000.

Telemetry System and Equipment

The equipment that will be purchased includes a telemetry system to provide monitoring during rehab sessions as well as a cross trainer, recumbent bike and upper body ergometer.

Training, education and certification

The campaign funding also will purchase training and education necessary to ensure our providers and patients are set up for success in their efforts. The goal is to certify the program, though services provided can be offered before that process is complete.

<p>
    Research shows cardiac rehab helps speed recovery and prevents rehospitalizations and death following cardiac events. Cardiac rehabilitation services encompass everything from patient assessment, exercise training and physical activity counseling to nutrition, help with diabetes, blood pressure and weight management. Cardiac rehab has been proven effective in improving heart health, slowing the progression of heart disease and boosting general health and well-being. Having access to those life-saving services closer to home will increase the likelihood that our patients will complete their prescribed therapies.
