The Wellness Institute at Durham Regional Hospital is dedicated to improving quality of life for patients with lung and heart disease through multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs.
Our health care specialists will work with you to tailor the program to your individual needs. Both cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are available and consist of individualized exercise plans, disease management education, nutritional intervention, and psychosocial support.
Our multidisciplinary staff includes cardiac and pulmonary medical advisors, respiratory therapists, nurses, exercise physiologists, a licensed dietitian, clinical psychologist, and vocational rehabilitation counselor. Additional community resources are made available to our patients as needed.
