Phase 2: CHIRP (Coronary Health Improvement Rehabilitation Program)

CHIRP is a safe, medically monitored program designed to help you reduce stress, improve the quality of your life, build a healthier heart and resume most, if not all of your prior activities.

This voluntary program includes three important components: exercise, education and stress management.

CHIRP is a progressive program that includes 12 to 36 visits, depending on the patient's condition and insurance specifications. Patients who have heart disease and are considered by their physicians to be in need of rehabilitation can be referred to the program.

Participants include people who have angina, heart disease, congestive heart failure, or those who have had a heart attack, coronary bypass surgery, angioplasty (balloon catheter-PTCA) or a heart transplant. Even if you had cardiac surgery at another hospital, CHIRP at Blount Memorial is here for you.

For more information on CHIRP, call us at 865-977-5636.
