Belmont Bay Rehab & Healthcare Shines a Spotlight on Heart Health

Belmont Bay Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center in Woodbridge celebrated the American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women Day by illuminating its signage and building with red lights. The Prince William County skilled nursing facility has a newly established Cardiac Rehabilitation specialty care program.

Staff and residents kicked off Heart Month in support of the Association’s initiative to increase awareness about cardiac health for women. Highlighting the importance of heart health, the center offered Samba Fitness and Fit and Spin classes to get residents moving and grooving for Go Red Day.

Woodbridge provides post-hospital, short-term rehab and long-term residential care. Its Cardiac Rehabilitation program focuses on promoting independence and quality of life through reducing symptoms and decreasing disability in heart patients.

The American Heart Association’s Go Red for Women initiative has been committed to raising awareness and clinical care of cardiovascular disease in women since 2004. According to the Association, cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women, causing one in three deaths each year.
