Patient Story
A Cardiac Care Army
“It was hard just to walk,” recalls Simon, an avid exerciser, adding that months of outpatient physical therapy after discharge helped him regain his strength until he could head back to his beloved gym.
“Our Cardiac Rehabilitation program makes such a difference. When patients are discharged from our program, they look like totally different people from when they came in — and when I hear good things about our program from cardiologists and patients, it means so much.”
Iqbal Jafri, M.D., Medical Director of Cardiac Rehabilitation at JFK Johnson Rehabilitation Institute
