AdventHealth Fish Memorial Wellness Center

Your recovery is personal to you, and your care plan should be, too.

From there, we help you create a personalized treatment plan to reach your goals.

At every turn, you’ll receive the care and guidance of a team dedicated to improving your strength, easing your mind, and lifting your spirits, including:

• Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapists
• Occupational Therapists
• Orthopedic Surgeons

You’re ready to get back to life as you love it. Whether it's a Sunday morning bike ride with the kids or an afternoon round of golf, your favorite activities are within reach. The physical therapists and other rehab specialists at AdventHealth Fish Memorial provide our Orange City community with personalized treatment plans tailored specifically for you, whether you’re overcoming a recent sports injury or dealing with wear and tear from a chronic illness. After your initial evaluation, you and your team will come up with a rehab plan best suited for your needs and goals.

Should your evaluation call for more advanced care, you’ll have access to our board-certified orthopedic surgeons. Whatever your diagnosis, you have access to a wide range of proven and innovative treatments and therapies, including:

When you’re in AdventHealth Fish Memorial Hospital, formerly Florida Hospital Fish Memorial, with symptoms of heart or lung disease, you’ll receive a visit from our staff before you go home. This is the first phase of your recovery. In this health education session, you’ll learn all about:

• Cardiopulmonary rehabilitation
• How to manage your medicines
• How to reduce your risk for health problems
• The best ways to quit smoking
• Testing or treatment procedures you may need

Cardiac rehab: When you’re recovering from a heart procedure or are learning to manage a cardiac disease, we’ll continue to support you through the second phase of your recovery. Our exercise program can help you improve your quality of life and build strength and stamina. You’ll also attend weekly health education seminars to learn about how to live your best life with your condition. You’ll need a referral from your physician. Insurance usually covers rehab for heart conditions and procedures such as:

• Balloon angioplasty
• Coronary artery bypass grafts
• Heart attacks
• Stable angina
• Stent and valve repair or replacement

Pulmonary rehab: If you have a lung or respiratory disease or condition, our pulmonary rehab program can help you breathe easier in the second phase of your recovery. You’ll need a referral from your physician. Insurance usually covers pulmonary rehab for:

• Asthma
• Chronic bronchitis
• Emphysema
• Pulmonary fibrosis

Exercise programs: In both programs, we’ll closely monitor your exercise heart rate, heart rhythm, oxygen level and blood pressure. Depending on your condition and needs, you may walk on a treadmill, ride a stationary bike, stretch and use our full line of Nautilus resistance equipment and hand weights.

Weekly health education classes: These classes are open to the public and are also an important part of our pulmonary and cardiac rehab programs. Some of the things you’ll learn about include:

• Anatomy and physiology of the heart and lungs
• Bronchial hygiene (clearing airways)
• Cholesterol
• Controlling risk factors
• Controlling stress
• Diabetes management
• Exercise
• Goal setting
• Healthy eating
• Label reading
• Managing medications

If you’ve been through one of our phase II cardiac or pulmonary rehab programs or have diabetes, you’re ready for our phase III exercise program. You’ll learn how to maintain your new healthier lifestyle and its wellness benefits. There is a nominal fee (similar to what you would pay at a gym). You can register a month at a time, so year-round residency isn’t required.

We’ll check your heart rate, blood pressure, heart rhythm and sugar levels at each visit. We’ll work with you to create an exercise prescription customized for your needs. Then we’ll supervise your cardiovascular resistance and stretching exercises to ensure proper technique and to help you prevent injury. Each week, you’ll have the option of attending support groups on weight loss and other relevant topics.
