Cardiac Outpatient Rehabilitation Services
Where to find this service
What we do
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation programs are located within the Specialised Rehabilitation Program centres at Sunshine Hospital and Williamstown Hospital. They are an important part of long-term care if you are someone with heart problems. Heart problems include heart attack, angioplasty/stent and heart surgery.
Our Sunshine Hospital also provides Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) Rehabilitation. CHF is the inability of the heart to supply enough blood flow to the body.
If you have heart disease, both these programs help you learn more about your condition, how to manage it and how to reduce the risk of further problems.
Cardiac Rehabilitation Program Timetable
Cardiac Rehabilitation runs once a week for 6 weeks.

- nutrition
