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. 1.4 With an aim of improving cardiovascular health, the program includes a 30 minute education portion, warm up and/or resistance training, followed by individualized exercise prescription. 2.0 COMMENTS 2.1 Shortly after its inception, the program quickly outgrew its surroundings and moved to the Oshawa YMCA where they now have funding for 400 patients per year. In an effort to decentralize the service as well as assist with their growth, the program will expand this fall to the Scugog Community Centre in Port Perry. 2.2 Clarington residents, as well as residents from outlying areas, have benefited by participation in this program. Since 2001, the Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation program has served 267 Clarington residents. Of that total, 140 were Bowmanville, 74 were Courtice, 37 were Newcastle, 11 were Orono and 5 were Kendal residents. 2.3 Offering 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. 2.4 The program would be offered in Clarington at the Bowmanville Indoor Soccer Facility, one day a week, for approximately 50 patients, with an anticipated start date of November 2005. During the summer months, the Bowmanville Indoor Soccer facility is utilized for summer camp programs. As a result, the Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation Program could be relocated to the Rickard Recreation Complex, if required. REPORT NO.: CSD-15-05 PAGE 3 2.5 The success of the program will be re-evaluated after 6 months and annually thereafter. 3.0 FINANCIAL 3.1 Lakeridge Health will be responsible for all registration, advertising and marketing related to the program. 3.2 Upon approval of Report CSD-15-05, both parties will enter into a third-party insurance agreement to the satisfaction of the Director of Finance.
