The Noyes Program Offers. . .
Noyes offers you a comprehensive approach which addresses all of your needs for recovery, including:

     Group and individualized exercise programs
     Educational instruction for a healthier lifestyle
     A medically supervised, supportive environment
     Optimal heart strength conditioning

We provide a phased approach to cardiac rehabilitation, working with patients at each step of their journey back to optimum health - starting with Phase I, immediately after surgery or a cardiac event.

Phase I:  The Beginning
Phase I begins during your first days of hospitalization.  Our staff provides patient information about heart health and exercise instruction; and answers any questions you may have about diet and physical activity.  Phase I prepares you for your return home, and the beginning of cardiac rehabilitation activity in Phase II.

Phase II:  A Program Tailored to Your Needs
Phase II typically begins within three to six weeks of your discharge from the hospital.  Upon referral from your physician, the cardiac rehabilitation staff will prescribe an individualized, medically appropriate program of exercise. During this phase, you will exercise on specialized equipment while Noyes staff continuously monitor your heart.

Phase III:  Keeping your Regime Going
Phase III is a life-long cardiac rehab maintenance program that is not covered by insurance but available at a modest cost..

Program schedule and costs:

     You will participate in three exercise sessions each week for up to 36 sessions
     The cost is covered by most medical insurance plans--copays and deductibles may apply. 
     We will determine your individual exercise coverage before starting the program.

Phase III:  Maintaining your Conditioned State
Phase III is recommended after completing Phase II. The goal of Phase III is to help you achieve a self-monitored, lifelong program of fitness. We provide Phase III health and wellness education sessions, as well as access to the Phase II education sessions.

Phase III is a self-pay program available at a minimal cost, and can be attended as many times each week as you wish. This phase is available to anyone seeking a medically supervised exercise program.
