Cardiac Rehabilitation Program
Medicare and many insurance companies cover most of the cost of cardiac rehabilitation, but a physician's referral is required. For more information, to tour our Wellness Center, or for a staff member to contact your physician about a referral, please call 706-721-9055.
Our cardiac rehabilitation program is based at our on-campus Wellness Center, with easy access and convenient parking.
