Morris County offers cardiac rehab (Kansas)

"The Morris County Hospital is now offering a cardiac rehabilitation program to help patients who have heart disease. The program, which requires a medical referral from one of the five physicians at the Family Health Center of Morris County in Council Grove, includes a team of staff members to help the patient recover and manage heart disease. 'Once referred to the program, a team of professionals including a registered nurse, dietitian, physical therapist, physical therapy aide and a certified diabetic educator will work together to develop a program based on each patient's specific exercise, medication and dietary or food needs designed to bring about better heart-healthy results,' a press release from the hospital stated. The program has scheduled appointments on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. During the appointments, each patient will participate in supervised physical exercise and receiving training and educational materials that are tailored to the patient's needs. The program is covered by most insurance plans and some offer 100 percent coverage, according to the news release. Others may require co-payment."
