Healing Hearts and Touching Lives

Celebrated at Houlton Regional Hospital’s

 Cardiac Rehab Department

Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, celebrated at Houlton Regional Hospital this past February, was initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).  It coincides with both Valentine’s Day and American Heart Month in an effort to draw greater national attention to heart health.  This year’s theme, “Healing Hearts and Touching Lives,” honors the patients, families and healthcare professionals who are dedicated to cardiac rehabilitation as a vehicle for a healthy lifestyle.

The Cardiac Rehabilitation program at Houlton Regional hospital has been “healing hearts and touching lives” for over 30 years.  Professional and compassionate staff provides a positive environment for patients at risk for heart disease and/or those individuals diagnosed with heart disease or dysfunction to improve their health and physical performance.

As part of celebrating Cardiac Rehab Week, participants were asked to share their thoughts on what cardiac rehab means to them and we are pleased to be able to share them with you.
