Rumford Hospital’s Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation unit has been recertified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).
According to AACVPR, this certification is recognition of the team’s commitment to improving the quality of life of patients by enhancing standards of care.
To earn accreditation, the rehab program participated in an application process that requires extensive documentation of their practices. AACVPR Program Certification is the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review individual programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other related professional societies.
“Achieving AACVPR Certification for our Cardiopulmonary Rehabilitation program was no easy feat, but our patients in the River Valley are absolutely worth it,” said Michelle Radloff, who leads the cardiac rehab team. “We are proud of our rehabilitation program’s commitment to delivering high-quality care and service, and even prouder of our incredible team for all they’ve accomplished.”
Founded in 1985, AACVPR is a multidisciplinary organization dedicated to the mission of reducing morbidity, mortality and disability from cardiovascular and pulmonary disease through education, prevention, rehabilitation, research and disease management.
