Cardiovascular Rehabilitation (Cardiac Rehab) is a medically supervised program that provides outpatient services to patients managing heart and vascular disease. Patient services include supervised exercise sessions, education and encouragement in a group setting. Services are physician directed and provided by registered nurses, exercise physiologists and dietitians. Cardiac Rehab also treats patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease through our supervised exercise therapy.
Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program is certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). Our program has met essential standards for quality patient care in Cardiac Rehab, as well as demonstrates our alignment with current guidelines as approved by the AACVPR.
We have a multi-disciplinary program staffed with registered nurses, an exercise physiologist, a registered dietitian and a board-certified medical director. This team of professionals, along with the patient’s primary care physician, assists the patients to adopt a healthy lifestyle through monitored exercise and education.
Based on scientific studies, Cardiac Rehab has shown to benefit by:
Patients and their families can feel confident that our staff has the experience and skills necessary to deal with all the issues that a life-changing cardiac diagnosis can lead to.

Most insurance companies cover all or most of the cost of the program, but physicians can call to inquire if their patients can qualify. For uninsured patients, Archbold offers patient financial assistance. For more information about patient financial assistance, call 229.228.2000.
This phase begins in the hospital soon after a cardiovascular event or completion of an intervention. After discharge, you should meet with your physician and discuss with them the benefits of Cardiac Rehab.
Phase II:
Patients attend Cardiac Rehab 2-3 times a week for 36 sessions that last approximately one hour. Patient’s heart rate and rhythm will be monitored the entire session by a registered nurse and vital signs will be taken before and after exercise. The exercise physiologist will decide which equipment each patient will use and develop an exercise plan catered to your needs. At this time you will also receive education on your condition and have a chance to meet with the dietitian.
Phase III:
After a patient has completed Phase II, they can participate in Phase III at their doctor’s recommendation. Phase III consists of 36 supervised, but non-monitored exercise sessions.
PAD supervised exercise program:
Patients attend vascular rehab 2-3 times a week for 36 sessions that last approximately one hour. Each patient will have an individualized treatment plan designed by an exercise physiologist. PAD rehab will improve circulation, thus decreasing pain caused by too little blood flow to your arms and legs to regain activities of daily living. Personalized education will also be provided to patients. After patients have completed 36 sessions, an additional set of 36 sessions may be completed depending on the patient’s needs.
