Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a high-impact, high-value intervention that remains underutilized in health systems across the country. Comagine Health, in partnership with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Million Hearts® initiative, invites physicians, advanced care practitioners, nurses, cardiac rehab program managers and other health care professionals to join us to learn about the strategies and resources needed to optimize care for patients within cardiac rehabilitation programs.

Ms. Stolp manages the cardiac rehabilitation portfolio for the Million Hearts® initiative and leads the Million Hearts® Cardiac Rehabilitation Collaborative, an open forum of multidisciplinary professionals taking action to help at least 70% of eligible patients participate in CR.
