Virtual cardiac rehab helps with social distancing

Virtual rehab also alleviating social distancing concerns.

Dick Akins and his wife walk 3 miles a day. He’s really upped the number of steps he takes daily since he had a major heart event last year.

Doctors at Kaiser Permanente told him he needed a quadruple coronary bypass. The recovery process took a while. That was followed by cardiac rehab, which required 3 visits a week to his doctor’s office.

On the day KOIN 6 News visited Dick at Kaiser Permanente in Sunnyside, Heather Carey was there to check him. Generally, though, she checks his information through the hospital’s virtual cardiac rehab app from Moving Analytics.
