Cardiac Rehabilitation
Programs to Recover From Heart Attack, Heart Surgery, & More
A cardiac event such as a heart attack or stroke is a scary event and is not something that should be taken lightly. Whether you are taking measures to prevent or recover from any cardiac related situation, it can be a long and tricky process that may result in life changing outcomes. Addressing the conditions that caused or might cause cardiac conditions is a key component in our cardiac rehabilitation department.
St. Croix Health’s Cardiac Rehabilitation department can be found on the third floor of our St. Croix Falls Clinic.
