AACVPR 2026 Panel Discussion

Our recent Vendor Symposium panel discussion during AACVPR's 2026 Annual Meeting was quite popular! If you couldn't make it in person, here is a recording of the engaging conversation. Listen to learn from three current Pritikin Providers about the value Pritikin ICR can bring to the patient experience and the opportunity it offers for a strong, sustainable program.

This year's interactive panel discussion featured a diverse group of Pritikin-licensed providers: 

•  Jarred Newmyer, Manager of Cardiac Rehabilitation, Northeast Georgia Medical Center, which has multiple locations.
• Erica Lax, lead Exercise Physiologist at Prime Heart and Vascular, located in Plano, Texas.
• Jon Dalton, Director of Cardiopulmonary Rehab for the Covenant Health System across East Tennessee. 

Moderated by Pritikin ICR Senior Advisor to the Chairman and Past-President, Terry Rogers, the panelists offered background information on their facilities and addressed audience questions covering several topics which are often top-of-mind for cardiac rehab departments.

After listening to the recorded session, you will come away with a deeper understanding of Pritikin ICR, including:

•  What it takes to get started: Learn about the space, staffing, and operational considerations for delivering ICR.
• Education that engages: Explore key components of the education curriculum and how they can strengthen the patient experience.
• Expanding your reach: Discover how virtual solutions can help you impact even more eligible patients.
• Thriving in the long-term: Learn how Pritikin ICR can contribute to a strong, sustainable program.
