What are the Benefits?
By participating in Heart Strong, you will become stronger, improve your fitness level and may even lose weight. Also, being involved in the program makes you significantly less likely to experience another adverse heart event. If it’s been six months or longer since you’ve exercised, you would need a referral from your Doylestown Health cardiologist. If you have continued exercising after graduating within one year from Doylestown Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation, you can contact cardiac rehab for a list of participating Heart Strong community gyms.
