Mayo Red Wing receives cardiovascular certification

Mayo Clinic Health System in Red Wing’s cardiovascular rehabilitation program has been certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation.

Cardiovascular rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with cardiovascular problems recover faster and improve their quality of life. Certified AACVPR programs are recognized because they offer the most advanced practices available.

“Receiving the AACVPR program certification tells our patients that our program follows strict patient safety standards, that our rehabilitation staff members meet advance clinical competencies and that we have access to numerous resources and benchmarks to help us create a successful program,” said Whitney Quast, exercise physiologist in the cardiac rehabilitation program.

The certification is valid for three years.
