John and Barbara Tanner Cardiac Rehabilitation Center

The John and Barbara Tanner Cardiac Rehabilitation Center provides medically supervised cardiac rehabilitation in a supportive, patient-centered environment. Located inside the Tanner Health Pavilion in Carrollton, the center helps individuals recover from heart-related events and build a stronger, healthier future close to home.

Services offered

The center offers a comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation program designed for people recovering from a heart attack, heart surgery or other cardiac conditions such as angina or congestive heart failure.

Cardiac rehabilitation, often called cardiac rehab, is a personalized exercise and education program that helps you rebuild strength, improve heart function and adopt heart-healthy habits. Under the supervision of trained medical professionals, you participate in structured exercise and receive education and support tailored to your specific needs.

The program includes two phases:

For many patients, cardiac rehab can begin three weeks after a cardiac intervention or four weeks after open-heart surgery.

Recovery: During this phase, you take part in a medically supervised exercise and education program focused on strengthening your heart and helping you develop a heart-healthy lifestyle. Your care team monitors your progress and adjusts your plan as needed to support safe, steady improvement.
Wellness visits: After completing the recovery phase, you may continue your exercise routine through wellness visits. During these scheduled visits, Tanner staff monitor your progress and provide ongoing support to help you maintain your results.

Who can participate

Cardiac rehab is appropriate for people recovering from a heart attack or heart surgery and for those diagnosed with certain heart conditions. A physician’s order is required to begin the program. Your cardiologist does not have to be on Tanner’s medical staff to refer you.

Physicians may fax referrals to 770-812-8369.

The Tanner Health Pavilion is located across the street from Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton.
