FARMINGTON — Franklin Memorial Hospital initiated a cardiac rehab support group in October. It continues to meet at 3 p.m.  the first and third Monday of each month in the Allen conference room at 111 Franklin Health Commons.

Anyone who has a cardiac diagnosis can attend.

The cardiac rehab support group provides emotional and social support for individuals who are recovering from cardiac issues.

Sophie Belanger, a seasoned cardiac rehab nurse and certified nurse coach, collaborates with educator Kasey Dunham from the Healthy Community Coalition to organize and lead the sessions. Belanger communicates insights and guidance, while Kasey facilitates meetings and provides resources.

For individuals who can’t be physically present, the support group has added the option to join virtually. A link for virtual participation will be sent via email upon request.

Discussion topics encompass a range of subjects including heart-healthy diets, safe exercise routines, lifestyle modifications, and stress management.

To learn more, call the Cardiology Clinic at 207-779-3120.
