What happened this week? 5/1/2017

After every class in Cardiac Pulmonary Rehab, there is a corresponding education session. In my opinion, these sessions are a crucial factor in the program. Patients must be referred by a doctor in order to participate in the program. I believe this is an excellent way for patients to truly understand their diagnosis and learn how to handle their episodes. These sessions can include topics concerning their diseases, environmental effects, diet, exercise, etc. Many patients enjoy these classes because it is more personal rather than being handed pamphlets upon pamphlets. Luckily, the staff is very knowledgable towards all topics and are usually able to answer all questions or refer them to someone who can.
