HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland’s Cardiac Rehabilitation
Program Recertified by Industry Leader



HIGHLAND, Ill. — HSHS St. Joseph’s Hospital Highland is proud to announce the recertification of its Cardiac Rehabilitation program by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation. This recertification is recognition of St. Joseph’s Hospital’s commitment to improving the quality of life of patients by enhancing standards of care.

Cardiovascular rehabilitation programs help people with cardiovascular problems (e.g., heart attacks, coronary artery bypass graft surgery, valve surgery, stents, congestive heart failure, angina) recover faster and live healthier. Cardiac rehabilitation programs include exercise, education, counseling and support for patients and their families.

To earn recertification, St. Joseph’s Cardiac Rehabilitation program participated in an application process that requires extensive documentation of the program’s practices and outcomes. AACVPR Program Certification is the only peer-review accreditation process designed to review individual programs for adherence to standards and guidelines developed and published by AACVPR and other related professional societies. The AACVPR Program Certification is valid for three years.

PRESS RELEASE

GriefShare Program - A Path to Healing Offered at Evangelical United Church of Christ

We extend a warm invitation to community members who have experienced the loss of a loved one to join our GriefShare program at the Evangelical United Church of Christ.

This ecumenical program offers a Christ-centered, biblically grounded approach to navigating the complex journey of grief. Our seminars feature insights from nationally recognized grief experts and testimonials from individuals who have walked this path,
followed by intimate group discussions.

It’s often the case that the true work of healing begins when our loved ones return to their daily routines. Our past participants have found great value in the information shared and the discussions that follow. Whether your loss is recent or occurred some time ago, you will find solace, support, and practical help in grieving the death of a spouse, child, parent, sibling, other family member, or friend. Regardless of the circumstances of your loved one’s passing, this program offers a safe space to connect with others who truly understand your feelings. You will learn to identify signs of unresolved grief and discover that you need not be held captive by certain emotions. You will gain valuable insights on adjusting to your new reality and restoring hope for the future. We also provide grief-related books and materials for participants.

GriefShare Fall Session Commences September 9th

We are pleased to announce that the GriefShare program will resume at EvUCC starting
Monday, September 9, from 6-8pm.
The group will convene weekly at the Parsonage located at 2520 Poplar Street. This 13-week session includes an additional meeting in November titled “Surviving the Holidays”.
To register, please contact the church office at 654-7459.. We kindly request a $10 registration fee, if possible, to offset the cost of workbooks. We look forward to welcoming you.
