Cardiovascular Fitness and Rehabilitation Program, Sinai Hospital of Detroit

Rehabilitation of persons with cardiac disease involves restoring and maintaining optimal physical, psychologic, occupational, social, and recreational status. It is based on the belief that adequate physical fitness and reduction of psychologic symptoms, including depression and poor self-image, can be attained by physical conditioning and education. The hospital-based and extended community-center program of Sinai Hospital of Detroit provides the environment for this effort.
