Cardiac Rehabilitation
If you're recovering from a cardiac incident, walking on a treadmill may be the last thing you're interested in. You may feel tired and depressed and simply worried about survival—not about getting in a workout. But exercising under the watchful eyes of Humboldt General Hospital's Cardiac Rehabilitation team may be the ticket, not just to survival but to a better quality of life. For more information, please contact our Wellness Coordinator at (775) 623-5222, ext. 1297.
