The UNC Wellness Center offers several clinical programs including Cardiac Rehabilitation, the Bridge to Wellness program, and Physical Therapy. Our state of the art facility and access to experts on every aspect of healthy living compliment to these exceptional programs.

UNC Hospitals Cardiac Rehab provides a twelve-week outpatient program for individuals recovering from cardiac events or surgery; participants are referred to Cardiac Rehab by their physicians. Exercise is a key component of the program, which also includes stress management, diet assessment, and patient education. UNC Hospitals Cardiac Rehab also offers the Bridge to Wellness program, for individuals who will benefit from medically-supervised exercise but for whom Cardiac Rehab is not indicated. Participants in the Bridge to Wellness program must be referred by their physician. For more information please contact the Cardiac Rehab office at (919) 843-2158.
