Our Cardiac Rehab Phase 3 program is offered through a partnership with SSM Health. Patients who have completed Cardiac Rehab Phase 2 at SSM Health, an outpatient rehabilitation program to help patients learn how to improve their health following a heart attack or heart procedure, will be referred to Phase 3 at the Fond du Lac Family YMCA.
The Y helps referred patients maintain the healthier lifestyle they began in Phase 2, by offering Phase 3 maintenance rehabilitation at the Y, to help assist in long-term success.

After completion of Phase 2 at SSM Health, patients will be referred to the Y by their physician. The program coordinator at the Y will contact the patient about getting started.
