Cardiac Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, medically supervised, outpatient program to help patients recover from various heart conditions and cardiac procedures. Our cardiac rehabilitation experts help you return to your highest possible level of function, independence and quality of life after a heart attack or cardiac event. Our cardiac rehabilitation program includes medically prescribed and supervised cardiac exercise, risk factor modification counseling and, in some cases, a follow-up exercise program for those who wish to maintain cardiac health and fitness.
We help patients with heart disease meet their individual treatment goals, including:

As you complete your cardiac rehabilitation program, the goal is to continue exercising, remain physically active, and maintain heart healthy lifestyle changes. Whether you join a fitness center, exercise at home or just want to remain active daily, our specialists will help you develop your post-cardiac rehabilitation exercise plan.
We offer cardiac rehabilitation at several locations across New Jersey, making it easier to get the care you need close to home. Each site provides medically supervised programs designed to help you recover and build strength after a heart event.
Hackensack Meridian Health also has a large network of Pulmonary Rehabilitation locations for those seeking help with chronic lung conditions such as COPD or pulmonary fibrosis.
