Intensive Cardiac Rehab: Scientifically Proven to Reverse Heart Disease

National Jewish Health and Saint Joseph Hospital in Denver, Colorado, are working together to provide comprehensive rehabilitation programs for patients with heart disease.

Our 9-week Intensive Cardiac Rehab program follows the Ornish Lifestyle MedicineTM approach. This program helps participants stop or reverse heart disease and chest pain through lifestyle changes in four areas of their lives:

  • Nutrition

  • Exercise

  • Stress relief

  • Support

Ornish Lifestyle Medicine is backed by more than 35 years of scientific research to reverse the progression of heart disease.
