Cardiac and Pulmonary Rehab Services
Covenant Health’s nationally-certified Cardiac Rehabilitation program
at the LifeStyle Centre affords cardiac patients the opportunity to participate
in an outpatient program that includes medical supervision, evaluation
and instruction in physical activity education. This personal treatment
approach provides support to patients trying to make healthy lifestyle
changes and can be highly beneficial for patients who have experienced
any of the following diagnoses:
- Heart attack
- Angina symptoms
- Coronary artery angioplasty or stents
- Open heart surgery such as coronary bypass or valve surgery
- Heart transplantation
- Heart failure
Benefits of participating in a cardiac rehab program include a longer life
expectancy and decreased risk of another heart attack as well as helping
to control other heart disease symptoms, improving stamina and strength
and an improved overall sense of wellbeing.
Upon graduation from the program, patients can easily transition their
exercise regimen in the LifeStyle Centre Wellness Program.

Nicotine Cessation Counseling
Quitting smoking can be very difficult, but with the right tools and support
it can be done. Studies indicate that a combination of the right nicotine
replacement therapy partnered with counseling is the best chance to get
on the road to a tobacco free life. We named our program A New Day because
that’s how we want you to feel when you have completed the program.
On the first day of your tobacco free life it’s a new day with positive
health, improved family life, monetary benefits and added years full of
endless possibilities.
- All counseling and education will be provided by a certified nicotine cessation
treatment specialist.
- The program consists of five counseling sessions.
- The initial session will be conducted in person at the Covenant LifeStyle
Centre while some follow-up sessions may be conducted by phone.
