Sports Medicine and Rehab Care in Northwest Georgia

Our cardiac rehab program is designed to help improve your physical, mental and spiritual health after a heart attack, open-heart surgery or valve replacement.

Your rehab will begin immediately — right at your hospital bedside — with a group of caring nurses and exercise physiologists who are trained to help you get moving again.

When you’re ready to leave the hospital and return home, we’ll still be here to help you heal. You’ll be scheduled for an orientation that will introduce you to Phase II (or our outpatient program). Typically, people will participate in the program for 12 weeks. During this time, you will:

• Build strength and endurance
• Learn to manage your heart rate and blood pressure
• Learn how you'll get back to daily activities

AdventHealth Redmond, in partnership with Pritikin ICR, is taking cardiac rehab to the next level. Some patients may qualify for our Intensive Cardiac Rehab program. Our comprehensive program incorporates exercise with heart-healthy nutrition and healthy mindset education aimed at strengthening your body, mind and spirit. Each visit to ICR at AdventHealth Redmond includes safe, supervised exercise and in-depth education through immersive workshops, live cooking demonstrations, and individualized consultations.
