Recovering from a heart attack or other cardiac event takes more than expert medical care — it takes ongoing support, education and the confidence to safely return to everyday life. 

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, Providence Holy Cross Medical Center recently expanded its outpatient cardiac rehabilitation program with a newly renovated gym that doubles the previous capacity. The expanded space allows more patients to access personalized exercise plans, nutrition counseling, stress management resources and one-on-one guidance from a dedicated team of cardiac rehabilitation experts.  

Research shows that patients who complete cardiac rehabilitation experience significantly better outcomes, including a lower risk of future cardiac events and improved overall quality of life. By investing in this expanded program, our donors are helping more patients regain their strength, improve their health and confidently move around after a cardiac event.  

This investment is also helping lay the foundation for what’s next. Building on the success of the expanded cardiac rehabilitation program, Providence Holy Cross plans to introduce additional pulmonary rehabilitation services in the future, extending these same life-changing recovery resources to patients living with chronic lung disease and other respiratory conditions.  

Every philanthropic investment helps move our Mission forward, creating healthy futures for our patients and expanding access to the specialized care our community deserves.
