The Country Access to Cardiac Health (CATCH) program has been developed to improve access to cardiac rehabilitation and secondary prevention programs (Heart Health) for people living in country South Australia by providing a range of different access options.

Cardiac Rehabilitation is an evidence-based strategy that aims to allow people with heart disease to live an active and satisfying life and to prevent the recurrence of cardiac events.

Evidence shows that cardiac rehabilitation leads to improved clinical and behavioral outcomes, including fewer hospital readmissions, better adherence to medication, enhanced functional status, improved risk profile, less depression, and better quality of life.
