We operate a Cardiac & Pulmonary Exercise Rehab program for individuals with lung disease and recent cardiac events (heart attacks, open heart surgery, stent placements, etc). Programming is held twice a week in a community based recreational facility. Volunteers would be asked to assist with pre & post program set up/take down (setting out automatic BP cuffs, putting out educational material, assisting clients with filling in their activity logs, etc . A large role for the volunteer is in walking with clients as they exercise and providing company, conversation, and encouragement, as well as alerting SHA program staff in the event any client needs assistance.
