Program Information
The Cardiac Wellness Institute of Calgary (CWIC) is dedicated to
providing high quality, comprehensive services in heart disease prevention, cardiac wellness, and
cardiac rehabilitation.
Our programs are created specifically to cater to individual needs and our services may be accessed through self referral and/or through a referral from your family physician or cardiologist.
Cardiac Wellness Institute programs will enable you to identify your risk factors, practice positive and effective lifestyle habits, and promote well-being even when you already have heart disease.
We will assess individuals or groups who are at risk for the development of heart disease or are concerned that they may be at risk. We are also able to provide ongoing support and education for patients and their families who are already affected by heart disease.
