The program has expanded to also utilize the Garnet B. Rickard arena during the summer months when summer camps are held at Bowmanville Indoor Soccer Facility. 1.2 In 2001, Lakeridge Health introduced this Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Program at their Oshawa campus. Shortly after its inception, the program was granted government funding through the Ministry of Health and Long Term care. 1.3 Program participants are referred to the program by their general practitioner or their cardiac specialist. Once referred, all program registration is handled by Lakeridge Health Oshawa. The Lakeridge Health Staff on site at the program are specially trained to work with this special population. They also carry their own defibrillator for emergency purposes. 1.4 With an aim of prevention and recovery of patients suffering from heart attack/heart failure, diabetes, kidney disease, stroke, and/or angioplasty/stent, the program includes an educational portion, a warm-up and/or resistance training, followed by individualized exercise prescription. 1.5 The purpose of the program is to teach self-management skills, to keep residents out of the hospital, to improve cardiovascular fitness, to prevent disease progression and to improve quality of life. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 Since 2001, the Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation program has served 478 Clarington residents. 2.2 Since the partnership with Clarington began in December 2005, the program has served over 100 Clarington clients. Of that total, 75 were from Bowmanville, 21 from Newcastle, 4 from Orono, 14 from Port Hope, 9 from Courtice, 2 from Campbellford, 1 from Brighton and 1 from Trenton. 2.3 Continuing to offer the program in Clarington would further benefit our residents and those of surrounding areas by providing needed health care locally, as well as, encouraging those to attend who may not have previously due to transportation issues.
