Greene County General Hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation program and the Supervised Exercise Therapy Program for Peripheral Artery Disease is designed to help improve patient lung health, heart function and normal daily activities. Patients can expect an evaluation and a monitored, prescribed exercise course. This is complimented by recommended lifestyle changes from diet to at-home exercise plans as well as education.

Peripheral Artery Disease Rehab is an outpatient exercise and education class for patients with a circulation problem called peripheral arterial disease. This results in pain in the lower half of the body when doing activities such as walking. Most patients attend three times a week for 12 weeks. A supervised exercise program helps you stay active in normal daily activities and may prevent disabilities.

Stay fit at home!

During these difficult times, it is important to keep up a mobility rutine. Check out this video for a 15 minute chair exercise program.
