Cardiac/Pulmonary Rehab
Located on the 1st Floor of the Medical Services Building, our cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation program is certified by the AACVPR.
Cardiac Rehab
Our Cardiac Rehab team of registered nurses, exercise specialists, dieticians and diabetes educators work with your physician to design a program that meets your individual needs and limitations. Monitored exercise therapy is combined with education sessions to help reduce the progression of coronary heart disease and to promote healthy living.
Cardiac rehabilitation sessions are held three times per week, with sessions lasting about one hour in length. The number of visits are based upon patient progress and insurance provider limitations. A variety of equipment is available to meet the individual needs of each patient.
Patients who have had coronary artery disease, a recent heart attack or surgery, or stable angina may be candidates for the program. Participation requires a physician order and reimbursement is based on your insurance provider. A maintenance program helps patients who wish to continue their exercise at our facility.
Pulmonary Rehab
Our Pulmonary Rehab team assists patients in expanding capabilities through education and safe exercise, while monitoring oxygen saturation and tolerance. Exercises are designed to strengthen muscles, improve stamina, and condition the heart and lungs to utilize oxygen more effectively. The education component is designed to reduce further problems and promote a healthy lifestyle.
The Pulmonary Rehab program accepts patients with chronic lung disease. These are patients who visit a physician or hospital frequently with lung-related problems, who are increasingly short of breath due to lung diagnosis or may have lasting effects of COVID-19.
Pulmonary Rehabilitation is offered at Mary Lanning Healthcare three times per week and each session takes approximately one hour. A typical program lasts approximately 10 weeks, but length may vary depending on your insurance provider. At the conclusion of your monitored sessions, we offer a maintenance program that you may attend to continue your exercise at this facility.
Peripheral Arterial Disease Program
Our team assists patients who have blockages in their lower extremities that limits their daily activities. Our goal is to improve lifestyle and exercise capacity through exercise and diet modification.

Doug Kristensen of Kearney
Doug Kristensen, University of Nebraska at Kearney Chancellor, recently shared about his experience as a patient at the MLH Wound Center:
When Doug Kristensen was told hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy could help him, he was worried.
