Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

Welcome to the All Care Medical Consultants Cardiac Rehabilitation program. We are so excited for you to start the program with us. As you begin this journey, we have created educational materials to support you on your way. Our program is preventative, which means you do not need to have multiple “qualifying diagnoses.” It also means that you may have graduated from a previous Cardiac rehabilitation program and no longer qualify traditionally. As a value-based internal medicine practice who believes in treating all aspects of “you,” our practice will provide you with education and support through the lens of lifestyle medicine. “Lifestyle medicine is a medical apporach that uses evidence-based behavioral interventions to prevent, treat and manage chronic disease.” – American College of Lifestyle Medicine.
