Beebe pulmonary rehab program certified by industry leader
Beebe Healthcare recently announced the certification of its pulmonary rehabilitation program by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. Beebe Healthcare was recognized for its commitment to improving the quality of life by enhancing standards of care.
Cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation programs are designed to help people with cardiovascular problems such as heart attacks or coronary artery bypass graft surgery, and pulmonary problems such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or respiratory symptoms, recover faster and improve their quality of life. Both programs include exercise, education, counseling, and support for patients and their families.
Beebe Healthcare's pulmonary rehabilitation program participated in an application process that requires extensive documentation of the program's practices. AACVPR Program Certification is the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review individual programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other professional societies. Each program is reviewed by the AACVPR Program Certification Committee, and certification is awarded by the AACVPR board of directors.
AACVPR-certified programs are recognized as leaders in the field of cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation because they offer the most advanced practices available. AACVPR Program Certification is valid for three years.
Beebe Healthcare also received the Healthgrades Pulmonary Care Excellence Award for 2017. This award reflects the care Beebe's multidisciplinary team of pulmonologists, respiratory therapists and others provide patients with lung and breathing problems, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
