WISCPHR Mission Statement

Recognizing that cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation are multi-disciplinary fields, the Wisconsin Society for Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Health & Rehabilitation is dedicated to the improvement of clinical practice, promotion of scientific inquiry, and advancement of education for the benefit of health care professionals and the public.

WISCPHR is affiliated with, and supports the goals and objectives of the national organization, the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).

Important Legislative Input Needed

ATTENTION WISCPHR MEMBERS!We recently emailed members information on how to contact your congressional representatives to support the important CR and PR bills facing Congress. This continues to be a pressing matter, and one which we cannot overemphasize. Everyone--staff members, medical directors, hospital administrators and patients--must make their voice heard. Go to the AACVPR web site and send an email to your representative and senator about supporting these bills. It's easy, it's effective, and it is critical to our profession and our patients.
