Cardiac Rehabilitation-Phase III Program:
Phase II is a maintenance program for graduates of a Phase II (monitored) Cardiac Rehab program. It is recommended that all Phase II patients continue to exercise, after completing the program, in order to maintain their current level of fitness. In order to achieve this, the Franklin YMCA offers a Phase III program three times a week. Phase III patients do not wear a monitor, and although they work independently, they are constantly supervised by CPR-certified personnel from the YMCA. A registered nurse from UPMC Northwest visits once a month to monitor patient progress.
Benefits: Regular exercise can increase muscle endurance, lower blood pressure and blood cholesterol, reduce stress, prevent bone loss, counter depression and help control weight.
Requirements: You must be a graduate of a Phase II monitored program and have physician approval.
Cost: $29 per month, for Non-Members payable to the YMCA.
$14 per month, for Members payable to the YMCA
There are programs available to assist anyone who finds these costs prohibitive. Please do not hesitate to discuss your concerns with either the YMCA or UPMC Northwest staff. We want Phase III to be available to anyone who wishes to participate and we will make every effort to assist you.
