For the last 7 years, I've participated in the heart walk. I walk for for every patient who walks through the doors of our cardiac rehab program - I walk because I love what I do and am grateful for every day that I get to do it - I walk to further research when it comes to heart disease.
I want to see cardiac rehab become a preventative service, rather than a post-cardiac event program. The only way to do this is through research and government reform.
I walk for heart health and for those who don't make it to cardiac rehab. Cardiac rehab reduces the chance of having another cardiac event by 20-30%; preventative cardiac rehab will save lives.
