Healthy Heart Program
This is a medically supervised, Pritikin-certified, intensive cardiac rehabilitation (ICR) program for those with heart disease. Our expert team creates tailored plans, providing the support heart patients need to make lasting lifestyle changes.- A healthy eating plan: a registered dietitian gives insight on healthy eating during cooking classes and educational talks.
- Safe, effective exercise: technicians safely monitor cardiovascular conditioning, strength training and flexibility.
