Most of the people in the program have been referred by their cardiologist or their cardiac surgeon because they have had a recent admission into the general hospital in Regina, says O Donnell. The staffing and the medical equipment is all provided by the SHR and there is no fee to participate in the program.
Part of the programming provided by primary health care is the cardiac rehab program which was brand new with SHR starting in May of last year.
There is two parts to the program, education and exercise. Participants learn how to start their exercise program again after having a heart attack, open-heart surgery or bypass grafting. Participants are medically supervised while in the program with heart rates and rhythms monitored as well as blood pressure.
