Cardiac Rehab Program Receives National Re-accreditation

FAYETTEVILLE – Cape Fear Valley Health’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Program has been re-accredited by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).

The three-year certification recognizes Cape Fear Valley’s commitment to quality treatment and improved patient outcomes. Certified AACVPR programs offer the most advanced practices available in the cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation field.

The AACVPR is the only organization that certifies cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs nationwide. Its certification program allows patients to seek out rehab programs considered among the best in the nation.

Cape Fear Valley’s rehab program underwent a six-month application process, requiring extensive documentation of all staffing, credentialing, patient care plans and program practices. The re-accreditation was granted Aug. 31. It was the third time Cape Fear Valley has received AACVPR certification.

Founded in 1985, the AACVPR's mission is to reduce morbidity, mortality and disability from cardiovascular and pulmonary disease through education, prevention, rehabilitation, research and disease management. Central to the core mission is improvement in quality of life for patients and their families.
