DAVIESS COMMUNITY HOSPITAL TO OBSERVE

Join Daviess Community Hospital during National Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, February 14-20, to celebrate the life-saving impact of cardiac rehabilitation.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Week draws attention to the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the potentially devastating effects of heart disease. The weeklong celebration is also a great opportunity for DCH to recognize our team members for their contributions.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in both the United States and Indiana, and Indiana ranks thirteenth in the nation for number of deaths per year from heart disease.

Cardiac Rehabilitation Week, initiated by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR), coincides with both Valentine’s Day and American Heart Month in an effort to draw greater national attention to heart health. This year’s theme, “Beating Strong, Living Long,” honors the patients, families, and healthcare professionals who are dedicated to cardiac rehabilitation as a vehicle for a healthy lifestyle.
