After your treatment—whether medical or surgical—it's important to continue your recovery. Texas Heart Institute at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital offers a variety of support and recovery methods to help you along that path.
The Cardiac Rehabilitation Program takes a progressive and multidisciplinary approach focusing on areas such as exercise, nutrition, counseling, and education.
The Heart and Lung Treatment and Transplant Center believes that you are part of your health-care team along with your doctors, nurses, and your family. Your health-care team will design a plan of management tailored to you. In addition, the Heart Failure Program sponsors a support group that meets every month to provide patients with hope and learning through shared experience.
If you are a transplant recipient, the transplant coordinator will work with you and your family to keep you informed of procedures, medications, diet, exercise, and other important aspects of your treatment. Heart Exchange members include heart transplant recipients, those in need of transplants, their spouses, families and friends, and the nurses who work with them.
