Grange revitalises heart patients

"Eighty-eight-year-old Eve Taylor from Easebourne, Sussex, UK, is one of many people recovering from heart surgery who was left stranded when the cardiac rehabilitation unit closed along with King Edward VII hospital. But anxious to keep up her vital exercising, she and others joined forces and took themselves off to the Grange Centre gym. 'When KEVII closed I, as with many others in the same programme, was devastated, as the closure left us nowhere to go for cardiac exercise,' said Eve. 'Elderly people need exercise to keep fit and in doing so mixing with others is a tonic in itself.' Now two years later the new Revitalise group at the Grange Centre is so successful, an extra class has had to be organised and doctors are referring patients from St Richard's Hospital in Chichester" - Chichester Observer
