Our approach
Our rehabilitation program consists of two phases. The first phase is a closely-monitored exercise class where you are supervised by a registered nurse, physical therapist and an exercise physiologist. Weekly education topics are incorporated into the sessions. The second phase is a supervised exercise group with one or two sessions per week. This is a voluntary program.
Eligibility
