Salem Township Hospital offers comprehensive outpatient cardiac rehab and pulmonary rehab programs. These programs are valuable for patients trying to return to normal daily activities and learn how to reduce risk factors and improve their quality of life.
This program is designed for men and women who have suffered a heart attack and/or have had coronary vascular procedures. Cardiac rehab patients are educated on how to reduce cardiovascular risk factors.
People enrolled in Cardiac Rehab learn important information about eating a healthy diet and reducing cholesterol levels. Patients are also educated about maintaining a healthy blood pressure, dealing with stress, and exercising regularly.
Pulmonary Rehab is a medically supervised program designed to assist patients with chronic breathing disorders to improve their daily lives and to lessen the effects of their illness.
Patients in the pulmonary rehab program learn about their disease and how to decrease their shortness of breath and the anxiety accompanied with it. Patients are also educated on specific breathing techniques, how to keep their lungs healthy, oxygen use, taking medications correctly, and the importance of exercise.
Cardiac and pulmonary outpatient services are covered by most insurance plans including Medicare; however, prior approval may be necessary in some instances. A physician’s order with qualifying diagnosis is required.
