The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program at RWJUH
Heart health affects both your physical and emotional well-being. When
you aren't physically well, it's hard to
feel well, and even harder to be motivated to do something about it. For people
with cardiac conditions especially, movement is a vitally important part
of their quest for improved cardiovascular health.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation program at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) offers a medically supervised exercise regimen combined with tailored health education to improve your quality of life and help you feel better in body and mind.
Exercise physiologists and registered nurses will work with you and your cardiologist to develop a personalized treatment plan with measurable goals.
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program has achieved National Certification through the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), which offers the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review individual facilities for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other professional societies.
