Living with Heart Disease… Cardiac Rehab Program Cardiac Rehab is a vital part in the recovery of heart disease. According to the American Heart Association, “research shows that cardiac rehabilitation patients who are exercise-trained are less likely by 26% to suffer from cardiac death than patients who only receive general care.” Your family doctor, Cardiologist or Cardiothorasic Surgeon can refer you to the Cardiac Rehab Stage II Program. Cardiac Rehab is covered by most health care plans and Medicare. Cardiac Rehab is located on the first floor of Pikeville Medical Center in the Miners Building. The program consists of three one-hour exercise sessions a week, totaling 36 sessions over a three month period. We are flexible to your schedule. The department is open Monday thru Friday.
