Cardiopulmonary Rehab and Lifestyle Medicine

Nola Peacock, PT, DSc has been a part of the hospital family since the mid-90s. She runs the cardiac and pulmonary rehab program with an emphasis on lifestyle medicine.

Throughout her decades-long career, Nola says St. John’s Health has provided her with the opportunities to learn and grow, allowing her to advance her skills and accreditations.

“Many years ago, I was able to complete my doctoral degree in physical therapy while continuing to work in the outpatient rehab department,” she said. “Since that time, I have received ongoing support allowing me to achieve board certifications in health coaching, lifestyle medicine, and geriatric physical therapy.”

The convenience of offering these services in Jackson is invaluable to her patients. The next closest cardio-pulmonary rehab center is in Idaho Falls which is 90 miles away.

The growth in her patient panel has been tremendous as the demographic of Jackson has changed with aging patients driving the growth. She says, “St. John’s has so many services allowing us to ‘age in place.’”

“St. John’s Health honors its role as the community hospital by offering robust services like cardio rehab and lifestyle medicine. It continuously invests in its employees, and plans for the future health care needs of the valley,” she said.
