Outpatient Cardiac Rehab Program at Ochsner
According to the American Heart Association, fewer than 20% of all eligible patients nationwide participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program – even though cardiac rehab can reduce the likelihood of hospital readmissions by 25%, and patients who participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program reduce their risk of mortality by over 50% (compared with those patients who do not participate).
As part of the renowned John Ochsner Heart and Vascular Institute (JOHVI), our cardiac rehab team is determined to increase the participation of all patients in the Greater New Orleans area. We’re here to give you the tools you need to take charge of your life – to stay out of the hospital and be a healthier, happier you.
