CHESTER – The Cardiac Pulmonary Rehab Center (CPRC) is proud to announce that its dedicated staff members attended the 2025 Illinois Society for Cardiopulmonary Health and Rehabilitation Conference held on March 7-8 in Urbana, Illinois.
Melissa Soellner, RDN, ACSM-CEP and Amy Mathis, RN
The conference brought together healthcare professionals from across the state to discuss the latest advancements and best practices in cardiopulmonary health and rehabilitation. Melissa Soellner, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and Certified Clinical Exercises Physiologist, and Amy Mathis, Registered Nurse and CPRC Supervisor, represented the CPRC at the event.
They participated in various sessions that covered critical topics regarding patient outcomes, exercise prescription, genetic testing, diabetes, obesity, and heart failure. In addition to learning up-to-date information that will enhance their practice, they had multiple opportunities to network with vendors, sponsors, and fellow cardiac and pulmonary rehab professionals.
Reflecting on her experience, Amy Mathis shared, “I appreciated the opportunity to network with other Cardiac & Pulmonary Rehab professionals from across the state—from large urban to more personal rural programs. I was able to glean tips on how I can better improve our program and offer additional resources to my patients. I’ve already begun working with patients based on some of the information I received.” The insights gained from these sessions will be instrumental in enhancing the quality of care provided at the Memorial Cardiac Pulmonary Rehab Center.
By integrating the latest research and innovative practices, CPRC continues to strive for excellence in patient care and outcomes.
