Clinically Proven Virtual Rehab Platform Reduces Relapses and Rehospitalizations While Improving Long-Term Prognosis
NEW YORK (January xx) – RecoveryPlus.health, a national pioneer in cardiac patient healthcare, has partnered with four of New York City’s leading sub-acute rehabilitation centers to expand patient services and optimize recovery for thousands of regional cardiac patients.
With this new exclusive collaboration, these facilities -- Bainbridge Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, East Haven Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, Mosholu Parkway Nursing and Rehabilitation Center and The Wayne Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing -- offer onsite inpatient sub-acute cardiac rehab certified by RecoveryPlus.health. In addition, the facilities are introducing a virtual telerehabilitation regimen for patients once they are discharged to the community. The goal of the partnership is to ensure that patients continue to maintain, and improve, their heart health once they return to the community, avoiding rehospitalizations that are common in the cardiac patient population.

The four Bronx-based locations --operating under MEDCO -- each provide advanced Physical, Occupational and Speech Rehabilitation treatment in addition to specialized nursing care, empowering patients diagnosed with heart disease or other cardiovascular and pulmonary issues to reach optimal independence.
With this new Sub-Acute Cardiac Rehab program, patients are under the care of an onsite Cardiac Nurse Practitioner who works with the interdisciplinary team to assesses and develop an individualized cardiac rehab plan of care. Upon discharge from the facility, patients will have access in the community to continue their cardiac rehab therapy through this medically certified remote platform to help them continue a heart-healthy lifestyle at home. The physician-prescribed program is covered by Medicare, Medicaid and most commercial insurance plans. Experienced clinicians personalize the system to meet the specific needs of each patient.

“Everyone can relate to the difficulty of maintaining exercise and good habits on one’s own,” says RecoveryPlus.health CEO and Co-Founder Peter Niemi. “While outpatient facilities are available, people often face mobility or travel challenges; they may have scheduling, financial or even emotional reasons for not leaving home. Remote cardiac rehab, accessible on demand, under the guidance of experienced healthcare professionals, is a cost effective step toward improving patient care, reducing costs and reinforcing overall long-term health .”
“Nothing is better than in-person rehab and exercise therapy with a skilled healthcare professional who expertly customizes care and motivates patients to do their best to get better,” says Todd Ostrow, COO, MEDCO. “When our patients return home, however, not all are able to continue the recommended activities on their own. Many have strong support systems at home, but others can benefit from ongoing guidance for as long as needed. This new program integrates physical movement, medication adherence, monitoring of vital signs and more.”
