Heart Strong

If you’ve been involved in cardiac rehabilitation, you have another opportunity to extend your fitness, close to home.

Heart Strong is a unique exercise program specifically for patients who’ve participated in our cardiac rehabilitation program and want to maintain optimal heart and vascular health. A collaboration between Doylestown Health and community gyms, the Heart Strong program keeps you fit with prescribed exercises from your cardiac rehab team.

All trained gym staff who supervise the program know specific aerobic and resistance-training guidelines and have to pass a competency test on exercise prescription and emergency preparedness.
