At Brooks-TLC Hospital, our Cardiac Rehabilitation Department is built around one goal: helping patients feel stronger, healthier, and more confident after a heart-related event. Behind every recovery is a dedicated team that truly cares about the people they serve.
Our Cardiac Rehab Team
For our staff, cardiac rehabilitation is more than a program. It is meaningful, hands-on work that allows them to build lasting relationships and witness real progress.
“I have worked at Brooks for 47 years in Med Surg, Telemetry, per diem GI Lab, and Cardiac Rehab. Cardiac nursing has always been my favorite. The patients are great, and I love seeing them improve and feel better.”

– Stacy Ode, RN
“I have worked in Cardiac Rehab for the past 20 years. Cardiac Rehab is a very special and unique department. I love caring for our patients from the beginning of their heart health journey through their discharge.”

Their passion and experience shape the care our patients receive every day.
A Program Designed Around Recovery and Wellness
Cardiac rehabilitation is more than exercise. It is a comprehensive, medically guided program proven to improve cardiovascular fitness, support healthier lifestyles, and reduce hospital readmissions. Studies show that patients who participate in cardiac rehabilitation live longer, feel better, and gain confidence in managing their heart health.
The Brooks-TLC Cardiac Rehabilitation Program supports individuals who have experienced a heart attack, heart surgery, or a diagnosis of heart disease. Guided by an experienced nursing team, the program combines monitored exercise, heart-healthy education, and personalized support tailored to each patient’s needs and goals.
Whether patients are working toward returning to daily activities or committing to long-term lifestyle changes, our team provides safe, encouraging support every step of the way.
An Investment in Your Heart Health
Cardiac rehabilitation is an investment in recovery and future well-being. With a focus on strength, confidence, and education, our program helps patients take control of their heart health in a supportive and welcoming environment.
Caring for Our Community, Close to Home
At Brooks-TLC Hospital, we are proud to offer cardiac rehabilitation close to home for the people of Chautauqua County. By combining expert care with compassionate support, our Cardiac Rehabilitation Department helps patients move forward with confidence and hope.
If you have experienced cardiac difficulties, talk with your physician about whether cardiac rehabilitation may be right for you. Our team is here to support your recovery and your heart health journey.
