UF Health Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehab Gym

Our dedicated team of cardiologists, exercise physiologists and registered nurses provide outpatient rehabilitation for patients living with cardiac disease. If you’ve had recent heart problems, we will create an individualized treatment plan for you to help restore and improve your quality of life, both physically and emotionally.

Patients must have a physician referral to start cardiac rehab.
