Luminis Health Cardiac Rehabilitation Lanham

Luminis Health Cardiac Rehabilitation provides personalized exercise plans, support and education to help you recover from a cardiac event and reduce your risk of future heart problems.

Recovering from a cardiac event can be challenging.  Our team of specially trained physicians, nurses, dieticians and staff helps you develop a sustainable plan to improve your heart health.

Once your physician gives you clearance to participate, our team assesses your medical information and works with you to create a plan to help you achieve your goals.  The program is individualized and is appropriate regardless of your level of fitness or reliance on assistive devices such as canes or supplemental oxygen.

Phase II

Phase II is a structured, monitored program typically covered by insurance.  A cardiac rehabilitation nurse conducts a thorough initial evaluation to develop an appropriate plan before you start. Our medical director reviews the plan and verifies that it is appropriate for you.

You will be on a heart monitor and your blood pressure will be closely monitored. Blood sugar and other monitoring will be conducted based on your individual needs. 

Patients typically come three times a week for an hour each session.  Most patients take about 12 weeks to finish their programs.  Also, classes and videos about heart-related topics are included during the sessions.  We collaborate with your physicians to keep them informed about your progress and keep you healthy while you’re on the road to recovery.

Phase III

Phase III is a maintenance program that stresses independence in a supervised, unmonitored exercise program.  Participants attend classes, get educational materials and confer with professional staff about their heart health.  Phase III participants come twice a week for an hour each session. These sessions are intended to supplement other forms of exercise as you continue your journey to better heart health.

• Exercise training to help you learn how to exercise safely, strengthen your muscles and improve your stamina
