Hear what our patients have to say about cardiac rehab:
"I am so grateful that Burke Health brought to OUR community a cardiac rehab program. The facility is awesome, and the equipment is top notch. Mostly, I would like to give a huge THANK YOU to Hannah and Katie, the two ladies that work with us during rehab. Without their kindness and words of encouragement, some days would be very hard to get through. Believe me, if I can do the program, so can you!" - Nancy Pearce
“Everyone here has been very nice and helpful to me. I’m going to miss coming here very much.” -Donnie Johnson
"After my visit to the Cath Lab, my cardiologist referred me to the Cardiac Rehab Program at Burke Health. During the intake with Hannah, she helped me set specific goals for my time with them. We reviewed these goals frequently during my participation in the program to help keep me focused on them. As I progressed through the 36-session program, Hannah and Katie pushed me, monitored me, encouraged me and, yes, scolded me when I needed it. They were obviously as committed to my health and safety as I was. Not only did they push me to do the work to meet my goals, they pulled me back when I pushed too hard. In the end, I realized and exceeded my goals. I feel great and have more endurance than I have in years. Hannah and Katie are friendly, caring professionals who take my rehab seriously. The facilities are first-rate. I heartily (pun intended) recommend Burke Cardiac Rehabilitation if you want the best care available. Thank you, Hannah and Katie, for taking such good care of me. " -Jeff Demmon

"I am so impressed with this program; the staff is wonderful, and Hannah and Katie have been so kind and supportive. I feel that I will leave with much more knowledge of my condition and awareness of what I need to do to make it better. I plan to continue with an exercise program and hope to gain more strength and endurance." -Deborah Clarke
“Hannah and Katie have made my experience very pleasant and challenging. The class always felt family oriented. Even though my time was short with them, I feel better about my health and myself. I will continue to exercise and diet on a regular basis. Thank you, Mrs. Katie and Mrs. Hannah.” -Michael Maruca
