Cardiac Rehab Measures Updated
 A coalition of major cardiology and pulmonary organizations has

Cardiology Foundation, and the American Heart Association -- clarified

Get Your Rehab in Shape...or Else!
A loved one of ours, had a Hip Replacement at Lenox Hill Hospital & the surgery went well. Her family, determined that Mom would have "the very best" rehabilitative protocol, insisted on her entering, what is considered a preeminent Rehab Center in Manhattan. Its reputation as being the paradigm of rehab, notwithstanding - our patient, after thirty minutes in her "room", became agitated and then adamant about "not staying in this dive" one more minute! " I can't rehab her if I can't stand staying here"...The family had no recourse but to begin the rather tedious and frustrating scramble to move her to the "MODERN & CLEAN" facility all her friends had raved about...Was the rehab as good? We hope so, because she sure wasn't going to give this one a chance.
Are you doing everything you can to meet your "clients'" aesthetic, as well as Health & Rehab, concerns?
