Cardiac Rehab Program Gets Helping Hand I.aurinburf>. AC Scotland Memorial Hospital's new Cardiac Rehabilitation program received a $70,000 helping hand from two sponsors recently, said Michael O'Quinn coordinator of the program. Two grants' in the amount of $75,000 each, were donated to the program by the Kate B Reynolds Charitable Trust and The Duke Endow ntcnt. These grants w ill be used to offset start-up and operational costs for the program, slated to begin in March, says O'Quinn "New research shows that patients w ho have benefited from similar programs in the past have actually extended (heir lives through the vital medical regime and exercise therapy a cardiac rehab provides." said O'Quinn Ncarh half of all deaths by disease in the United States arc cardiac related, according to health statistics. The advent of this new outpatient program is great news for people w ith cardiac problems from Scotland. Moore. Richmond Robeson and Marlboro (South Carolina) counties. Cardiac rehabilitation services arc long-term programs that include medical evaluation, bchav ior modification, exercise, education and counseling In the past, people w ith heart problems had to travel to l.umbcrlon. Pinchursl. or even as fat away as Durham or Raleigh to gel cardiac rehabilitation services. Extensive travel time and rescheduling home and work duties often made it impossible for patients to stay true to their cardiac program, said O'Quinn This may havchindcrcdtheirrccovcry from a cardiac event, lie added "Programs of this nature arc expensive to start up." said O'Quinn "You need hospital grade equipment, spcciali/.cd and well-trained medical personnel to open the doors." The program w ill be headed by Dr Jeffrey D. Scdar. a Local cardiologist who w ill serve as Medical Director of the Cardiac Rehabilitation program. "Studies have shown that successful completion or cardiac rehabilitation improves cholesterol levels, reduces stress and increases the heart's functional capacity." said Seder. "Our program can benefit those with cardiovascular disease as well as people who have had heart surgery, bypass surgery. balloon surgery , or even common chest pain." The Scotland Memorial Hospital Cardiac Rehabilitation Center will be located at 321 Plaza Road in The Family Fitness Center. Scotland Memorial Hospital's Cardiac Rehabilitation program will also offer sen ices to those who may be atrisk for heart problems. saidO'Quinn "Many can benefit from an organized approach to risk factor modification A properly structured program of ex*, creisc and behavior modification can help keep hearts healthy and promote optima! health " The Kate B. Reynolds Charitable Trust, which donated $35,000. was created in 1947. Seventy-five percent of the income of this trust is used for health-related programs and sen ices across the state.
