Army Veteran George Dale has successfully navigated a challenging health journey marked by coronary artery disease linked to Agent Orange exposure. After undergoing significant procedures, including a four-way bypass and 19 stents, he has been receiving care at the Malcom Randall VA Medical Center since 1996. Through the Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation program, Dale has transformed his health, losing weight and discontinuing medication. He credits nurse Kim Phillips for her dedication and support, which he says has been pivotal in his recovery. The program allows Veterans to engage in cardiac rehab from home, maintaining close contact with healthcare professionals through weekly phone calls. This initiative has rapidly expanded, serving nearly 700 Veterans this past year and providing care for various conditions, including peripheral artery disease. Dale emphasizes the importance of the compassionate care he received, stating that it has restored not just his physical health but also his sense of purpose. He encourages fellow Veterans to utilize the VA’s services, highlighting the value of the support they provide. Veterans interested in the Home-Based Cardiac Rehabilitation Program can consult their primary care provider for eligibility and enrollment information.
