Wythe County Community Hospital is honoring the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease and improving quality of life for patients and their families.
Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), coincides with both Valentine’s Day and American Heart Month in an effort to draw greater national attention to heart health.
Wythe County Community Hospital’s CEO Vicki Parks said, “Throughout the entire year we consistently hear positive comments around the work our cardiac rehab team does with so many people in the community. We are proud to celebrate the great work and bring attention to cardiac rehab.”
This year’s theme, “Heartwork and Dedication,” honors the patients, families, and healthcare professionals who are dedicated to giving cardiac rehabilitation patients a new start.
