About
Spartanburg Regional Heart Center is home to the only American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation certified program in Spartanburg County. Our 12-week Heart Wellness cardiac rehab program helps heart patients make healthy lifestyle changes to improve your life. Rehab includes:
- Educational classes
- One-on-one exercise therapy in our spacious Heart Wellness Center with trained staff
- Individualized exercise prescriptions
- An appointment with a dietitian
- Individualized treatment plan that is reviewed by the Medical Director every 30 days.
Our cardiologists and other team members are here to help you reach your goals by:
- Creating a custom exercise “prescription,” including cardiovascular exercise and strength training.
- Measuring improvements in body composition, blood pressure and heart rate.
