Hannibal Regional Hospital’s
Cardiac Rehabilitation recently welcomed patients to its newly renovated
department. With funds raised through Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation’s
year-long Mending Broken Hearts campaign, the Cardiac Rehab department
was able to install new equipment, supplies and furnishings.
Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation received
donations totaling more than $64,000 from more than 200 donors for the Mending
Broken Hearts campaign. The funds were used to purchase new exercise
equipment, including treadmills, stepper, recumbent bicycle, arm ergometer and
an elliptical as well as other equipment and facilities upgrades. Having
a variety of equipment allows physicians to prescribe different exercises based
on the patient’s needs and abilities.
“On behalf of the Hannibal Regional Hospital
Foundation, I would like to offer sincere appreciation to our donors who made
our Mending Broken Hearts campaign a success,” stated Wendy Harrington,
Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation President. “The renovation of the
Cardiac Rehabilitation department allows HRH patients access to
state-of-the-art equipment and resources, fostering hope and healing in their
time of need.”
Cardiac Rehabilitation is a medically supervised
program combining exercise, diet and education in order to slow or stop the
progression of heart disease. HRH Cardiac Rehab can educate and motivate patients
to strengthen their heart and build their confidence. A doctor’s order is
required for cardiac rehab. With a qualifying diagnosis, cardiac rehab is
covered by Medicare and most insurance policies.
Donations to the Hannibal Regional Hospital Foundation
are used to provide an enhanced healing environment for patients at HRH and
provide an investment in the future of healthcare for our families and our
community.
To make a donation to the HRH Foundation, call
