- Medical cardiovascular evaluation, both at rest and during
exertion.
- Consultation with a physician to review your test and
evaluation results.
- Meeting with a certified kinesiologist to develop a program
that is suited to your needs and goals.
- Follow-up is available with regard to risk factors.
The medical area is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to

Stress management workshop
In addition, the Centre ÉPIC has responded to pressing
demand from its members for stress management services. A
stress reduction clinic, based on a model that has proven effective
in cardiac prevention, has been put in place. The model used
is that developed by the University of Massachusetts Medical
Center, a model that has also been adopted by Duke University's
Cardiac Prevention Centre. The approach favours yoga and meditation
(mindfulness) as well as classic relaxation methods as tools for
reducing stress. The stress management workshop is led by Dr Robert
Béliveau and is a 10 to 12 weeks program.
