People who have experienced a cardiac event often feel like they have been given a second chance. North Kansas City Hospital provides a cardiac rehabilitation program designed to support you in your healing process, both physically and emotionally.

The program, which focuses on improving quality of life through heart healthy living, is available during your hospital stay, followed by an outpatient program and maintenance classes.

A physician referral is required for participation in the program. The Inpatient Cardiac Rehab team will refer you to the outpatient program of your choice.

With guidance from your physician, the Outpatient Cardiac Rehab team will develop an exercise plan just for you to help you safely meet your personal goals for daily activity, returning to work and recreation. We also teach you about risk factors of cardiac disease. Through our comprehensive program, we want to help you prevent progression of your heart disease and promote a lifetime of optimum health.
