Cardiac Rehabilitation & Wellness Programs

The physicians who have collaborated to bring world-class cardiac surgery to the Seacoast would still rather prevent heart disease than repair damaged hearts. At Portsmouth Regional Hospital, we offer innovative wellness programs that help people choose a heart healthy lifestyle. We also offer comprehensive rehabilitation programs that help people recover from a heart attack or cardiac surgery.
