Patients who have undergone cardiac or vascular surgery or have had a heart attack, congestive heart failure or other cardiac conditions benefit from Burke’s unique inpatient cardiac rehabilitation program.

At Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, Nomeda  Balcetis, M.D. and Richard Novitch, M.D., work with an expert team to maximize the recovery of each patient, making it possible for the patient to return to the community with independence and confidence. Burke’s intensive cardiac program improves mobility, fosters greater independence with daily activities, and includes personalized care and individual therapy sessions tailored to each patient.
