Forty-four graduates of the Beebe Medical Center cardiac rehabilitation program were honored recently during a graduation picnic at Blockhouse Pond Park in Lewes.

Beebe President and CEO Jeffrey M. Fried gave the commencement speech to the graduates, their family members, current participants, and the department's volunteers. CaroLen provided old time music and entertainment.

The program offers a clinically supervised exercise program for people who have had recent cardiac events. It also offers educational opportunities for heart healthy nutrition, stress reduction, individual risk factor identification, and lifestyle changes. The program's goals include improvement in each patient's quality of life and a decrease in his or her risk of a subsequent cardiac event.
