“This program serves an increased need in our community, and our goal is to keep people in the community and provide services close to their homes,” said Kristen Beichler, unit director for the emergency department, cardiac rehab and stress testing.

During a typical appointment, which last one hour twice a week, a team of six specialists will have a patient work through exercises, take their vitals, evaluate their current feelings and progress and provide appropriate education to address their needs.
