Cardiopulmonary Services
Lutheran Downtown Hospital offers targeted outpatient rehabilitation for patients with heart, lung or peripheral artery disease (PAD), as well as patients who are recovering from COVID. Each supervised exercise program helps increase tolerance and mobility, reduce the risks of complications and hospitalization and improve overall health through a combination of:
- Medical evaluation
- Prescribed exercise
- Recommended lifestyle changes
- Education and support
