Hunterdon Health Recertified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Hunterdon Health’s Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs were recertified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).

AACVPR certification demonstrates that an organization's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is aligned with current guidelines as approved by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation for the appropriate and effective early outpatient care of patients with cardiac or pulmonary issues. Certification offers peace of mind to knowledgeable healthcare consumers and allows patients to feel confident in knowing that the staff has the experience and skills necessary to deal with the variety of issues that a life-changing cardiac or pulmonary diagnosis can lead to.

Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with cardiovascular problems (e.g., heart attacks, coronary artery bypass graft surgery) and pulmonary problems (e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [COPD], respiratory symptoms) recover faster and live healthier.  Both programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families.
