A coworker told me Friday that he has to attend the cardiac rehab program at St. Joseph Hospital as well. Since we’re both working, I guess we’ll see each other MWF at 7:30 am when the gym opens. It’s the only time we can go and still make it to work at a decent time. He had a pacemaker put in last year sometime. I don’t know why he needs to do cardiac rehab now; I don’t think he has any external factors like a transplant center asking him to go.
I did say that the gym was pretty small and I haven’t been too impressed with the program after five sessions. The facilities at Hoag Hospital seem much better equipped but I think St. Joseph Hospital is the closest program and kind of on the way to work. It’s probably impractical to drive to Irvine or Newport Beach for Hoag.
