Aviary Health and SDCVA Partner on Cardiac Rehabilitation and Address Critical Access Gaps in San Diego County

Encinitas, CA - Aviary Health proudly announces its new partnership with San Diego Cardiovascular Associates (SDCVA) to launch a home-based virtual cardiac rehabilitation program. This collaboration responds to the pressing need to improve access to cardiac rehabilitation services in San Diego County, where only 4% of eligible patients currently complete cardiac rehab. Patients often face significant challenges, including traveling up to thirty miles and enduring long wait times of four to six weeks for care.

SDCVA is a well-established cardiology practice in San Diego providing comprehensive cardiovascular care to patients since 1994. Founded by Drs. John Backman and Martin Charlat, SDCVA has built a reputation for its commitment to patient-centered care and clinical excellence.

The Aviary Health and SDCVA partnership offers a range of benefits for patients recovering from a qualifying heart event, including:

1. Virtual Cardiac Rehabilitation: Patients will have access to an innovative virtual cardiac rehabilitation platform, allowing them to participate in supervised exercise sessions and educational programs remotely, eliminating the need for lengthy commutes.
