Disease management programs
With an eye toward the prevention of disease as well as addressing its progression, the Center's disease management programs are designed to educate members with diabetes and heart and lung concerns.

- Heart rate training with the help of a Polar Heart Rate Monitor
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Continuous education
- Individual exercise guidelines
- Incorporating activities of daily living
- Increasing cardiovascular endurance levels
- Improving balance and flexibility
- Increasing muscle strength
