CARDIOPULMONARY REHAB
Who it helps.
Cardiac rehab provides supervised ex-
ercise and support for people who are recovering from
a heart event, such as a heart attack, stent procedure or
heart surgery. The pulmonary rehab part helps people
with breathing problems, such as chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), build tolerance for exercise
and daily activities.
What’s new?
With triple the space, cardiopulmonary
rehab features a new indoor walking track, all-new exer-
cise equipment and a state-of-the-art patient monitoring
system, says Craig Thompson, Chief Operating Officer at
GVMH.
Why it matters.
Cardiopulmonary rehab helps people
get stronger and live longer. Many choose to continue
rehab after the initial sessions.
“Patients in rehab tend to form close friendships with
each other,” Thompson says. “They’ve all gone through
life-altering events, so they learn from each other as well
as from our excellent nursing staff.”
Hours:
7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Maybe it’s time for your yearly mammogram.
Or perhaps you need cardiac rehab after a
heart attack. Or maybe you’re starting chemo-
therapy as part of your cancer treatment.

These are just a few of the many services
found at Golden ValleyMemorial Healthcare’s
(GVMH) spacious new expansion. GVMH
needed elbow room to meet growing demand
for local healthcare. That mission was ac-
complished in July.

Here’s a closer look at
three key services in the expansion.

Memorial Healthcare allows compassionate,
skilled staff members like Gwen Wilkerson-Thomas
