Cardiac Rehabilitation
Lexington Medical Center’s medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation program is designed to help people recover from a heart attack, heart-related surgery or a diagnosis of heart disease.

Cardiac rehabilitation provides the support needed to make changes for a healthier life.
Participants meet three times a week for 36 sessions of exercise and education classes about nutrition, stress management, heart medication and other topics to help them adopt a healthier lifestyle and promote recovery.
The program offers a team of experts under the direction of cardiologist Katie Twomley, MD.
The cardiac rehabilitation staff includes:
