Cardiac Services
A successful recovery from a cardiac event or surgery begins with the development of a strong recovery treatment plan. That’s where we can help.
Individuals who have suffered cardiac issues are typically diagnosed and stabilized in traditional hospitals. Traditional hospitals treat patients on a short-term basis. However, not all individuals with cardiac problems can recover in a few days or even a few weeks. Patients who require a longer period of time to recover in a hospital setting may be referred to a critical care hospital like the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills to continue their treatment.
At the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills, we develop and carry out a personalized treatment program for each individual we serve. Our team members empower patients and their family members to be active participants in the goal-setting process and we encourage patients to achieve their recovery goals.
Through the Rehabilitation and Critical Care Hospital of the Black Hills’ cardiac program, patients recovering from cardiac events, conditions, and surgeries have access to:
Recovery in a safe hospital setting.
Our cardiac care team includes physician specialists, respiratory therapists, and ACLS-certified nurses. Our skilled medical professionals treat patients recovering from a wide range of cardiac issues. We can provide medication management, pain management, and cardiac device monitoring. We also specialize in treating postoperative wounds resulting from cardiac surgeries. Additionally, we offer telemetry monitoring, an onsite laboratory for testing needs, and specialized bariatric equipment and services.
Focused rehabilitation services.
Our team of rehabilitation experts can develop a program tailored to each patient’s abilities, goals, and risk factors. Rehabilitation specialists can work with patients to improve overall strength and confidence, all while in a safe hospital environment. When appropriate for the patient’s treatment plan, we’re able to provide a full range of rehabilitation services (physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies), whether at a patient’s bedside or in our rehab gym.
Healthy lifestyle education and support.
We provide both patients and their family members with education and support on topics such as nutrition, smoking cessation, stress reduction, and weight loss. Our team members work hard to ensure that each individual and their family members have access to the information, resources, training, and support they need for success.
