After an initial evaluation, staff offers patients assistance with risk factor modification, new exercise habits, education, counseling and behavioral interventions.

Forrest General's LiveWell Center offers medically-supervised rehabilitation for patients recovering from degenerative heart disease, surgery or heart attack. The conveniently located facility-equipped with a variety of exercise and monitoring devices-is staffed by an interdisciplinary team skilled in cardiopulmonary rehabilitation.
