Back on track John Ward told his family doctor he just didn’t feel right. He was tired, and a pain in his left shoulder was getting worse. After diagnostic tests, his doctors recommended heart surgery followed by a cardiovascular rehabilitation program at Canonsburg Hospital. Here, clinical exercise physiologists worked with John to improve his strength and stamina. He went from doing 1 minute on the treadmill to walking for 25 minutes — and feeling great.
