Home monitoring devices are provided for educational purposes and to help you share information with your healthcare provider. They are not a substitute for medical evaluation. If you have chest pain, shortness of breath, or other urgent symptoms, call 911.

​

• Getting a referral. Cardiac rehabilitation requires a referral from a healthcare provider. You can request a referral from your own provider, or schedule a visit with a  primary care physician through our primary care program, who can evaluate whether cardiac rehab is right for you and write the referral when appropriate.

• Getting connected. Once you have a referral, we’ll share the resources you need to connect with a cardiac rehab program near you. Enrollment depends on a provider’s referral and insurance approval.

• Note: This is an EDUCATION service ONLY. We provide this service because although cardiac rehabilitation has demonstrated benefits, only about 1 in 4 eligible patients participate.Burnes Health does not provide cardiac rehabilitation or supervised exercise. Medical evaluations and referrals are provided separately by Burnes Health’s licensed primary care physicians. Cardiac rehab has proven benefits, yet only about 1 in 4 eligible patients participate. We share the facts so you can make an informed decision with your healthcare provider. Recovery after a heart event or diagnosis takes support, and you don’t have to do it alone. American​
