Learning Plans
You can download a learning plan for each topic on your program passport. The learning plans:
Women-Focused Cardiac Rehab
The women-focused cardiac rehab stream is designed for those who prefer a women-only group. You will receive all of the same great features of the general cardiac rehab stream with more women-specific education. Cis-women, trans-women, and gender non-conforming folks are all welcome.
Many of the learning plans will link you to our video-based education program called THRiVE. THRiVE uses education, goal setting, and action planning to help you make small changes over time to improve your health.
Explore Cardiac College to learn about topics that are different from the weekly focus. You can also download the free patient guide, “A Guide to Help You Live and Thrive with Cardiovascular Disease.”
