If you have a history or risk of chronic heart or lung disease, cardiopulmonary rehabilitation can support your care and help you lead a healthier, more active life. The cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program at Mercy Heart & Vascular Hospital in St. Louis provides medically supervised exercise therapy and education sessions tailored to your specific condition and needs. Our program is supported by a multispecialty team, including nurses, exercise physiologists, respiratory therapists, registered dietitians and psychologists. 

Our dedicated rehabilitation gym on the sixth floor features elliptical machines, upright bikes, recumbent stationary bikes, arm cranks, treadmills and other state-of-the-art equipment. Our hospital ER is nearby on the first floor, so you can get fast evaluation and treatment if needed. The proximity of the ER to the gym offers extra peace of mind to many of our St. Louis cardiopulmonary rehab patients.
