Turning Point Rehabilitation

The Turning Point cardiac rehabilitation program offers you the chance for a second chance. The program is open to people who have had a heart attack, heart surgery, or angioplasty, and focuses on helping you change your lifestyle to prevent a second occurrence. You can get nutrition counseling, graduated exercise training, stress reduction education,
and more.

Our talented staff will teach you that through better nutrition, exercise, lowering the "bad" cholesterol, managing stress, and stopping smoking, future heart trouble may be prevented. Adopting a healthy lifestyle can even reverse some effects of heart disease. Turning Point's professional staff is a group of dedicated physicians, nurses, and healthcare specialists who will take you through the program. Your personal physician will be involved in all aspects of your care. Working as a team, a plan will be developed which will continuously monitor your progress.

The program's nutritionist will demonstrate how to cook delicious, heart healthy meals. Qualified staff will help to develop a program to quit smoking and manage stress. Others will work to incorporate exercise into a daily routine. Family members are encouraged to participate in the promotion of healthy habits.
