PENDLETON CENTERS

The YRMC Pendleton Centers – located in the Wellness Center at YRMC West in Prescott and the YRMC Del E. Webb Outpatient Center in Prescott Valley – are leading-edge health maintenance and rehabilitation centers with friendly, supportive atmospheres. State-of-the-art exercise equipment, ongoing monitoring and education are all part of a total wellness approach to fitness.

All of the Pendleton Centers’ programs are supervised by a multi-disciplinary team of healthcare professionals dedicated to helping you improve the quality of your life. Whether your goal is improved fitness or a return to an active lifestyle following a recent injury or illness, our programs can help you safely achieve that goal.

The Pendleton Centers are one of three YRMC rehabilitation and wellness departments that have joined together to form YRMC HealthQuest, a line of service that integrates all of their specialties to help local residents achieve maximum wellness potential. The other two are our Physical Rehabilitation Services Department and our Cardiopulmonary Laboratory.

At the Pendleton Centers, we provide a number of programs designed to maintain and improve the health of community members.

CARDIAC REHABILITATION

The Cardiac Rehabilitation program assists people with diagnosed heart disease to reduce risk factors for coronary-artery disease, return to an active lifestyle and improve the quality of their lives. Exercise and education are essential components of this program.

During the course of your rehabilitation, you progress at your own pace through a closely monitored and custom-tailored exercise program. Your team of registered nurses, exercise physiologists and dietician will advise you about lifestyle changes, diet modification and nutrition, medications, stress reduction and management, hypertension, cholesterol control, coronary anatomy and the disease process. By actively participating in your own healthcare, you become informed about heart-prudent living and progress toward a return to health and fitness.

A physician's referral is required to enter the program. The program Medical Director provides oversight of Cardiac Rehabilitation. In most cases, Cardiac Rehabilitation is covered entirely or partially by your insurance. We encourage you to contact your insurance carrier to determine if the program is covered by your policy.

ADULT FITNESS

Whatever your current fitness level, the Adult Fitness program is for you. After an initial evaluation, an exercise program is designed to meet your specific needs and goals. Our team of dedicated healthcare professionals will closely monitor your progress. Instruction is available on dietary changes, weight control, stress management and other health risk factors.

Enjoy the support of other community members while you improve your health through regular exercise, reduce your risk factors for chronic disease, and learn how to make health awareness a regular part of your daily routine. Locker rooms and shower facilities are also provided for your convenience. Medical clearance from your physician is preferred.

WELLNESS ASSESSMENTS

The Pendleton Centers offers Health Risk Appraisal Testing for small businesses in the Quad-City area. For more information about our Wellness Assessments, please call (928) 771-5655.

"REACH" EXERCISE PROGRAM

The REACH (Resistive Exercise and Aerobic Activity from a Chair) Exercise Program is one example of how exercise can be for everyone. REACH allows people who are unable to participate in regular fitness classes to improve their physical condition with stretching and muscle strengthening and toning exercises – all done from a seated position.

The closely monitored program is especially designed by exercise physiologists to improve your range of motion, increase your exercise tolerance and improve your overall fitness level. Your team of healthcare professionals will also emphasize relaxation and stress-reduction techniques.

The REACH program is beneficial for people suffering from a variety of conditions, including stroke and severe arthritis or balance problems. Individuals attempting to transition from physical therapy to a fitness environment, as well as deconditioned individuals (the result of illness, injury or long-term sedentary lifestyle) attempting a more active lifestyle, will also benefit from this program.

REACH classes are ongoing and you are welcome to join at any time. A release from your physician is required.

DIABETES EDUCATION

Have you had diabetes for years, or have you recently been diagnosed with the disease? Are you interested in the latest information on managing diabetes and how to maintain your health?

If you answered “yes” to either question, the Diabetes Education self-management program at YRMC may be for you. Certified Diabetes Educators and other healthcare professionals offer a series of five weekly classes that provide a wide range of diabetes information, including:

• How to correctly monitor blood sugar
• Acute and long-term complications
• Medications to treat diabetes
• How to plan healthy meals

Individual consultation with a dietitian or a registered nurse is available. To enter the program, you must be referred by a physician. The Diabetes Education program may be covered by your insurance. We encourage you to contact your insurance carrier to determine if your policy will provide full or partial coverage.
