New Heart Center for Wellness, Fitness and Cardiac Rehabilitation was founded thirty years ago, and has been growing since then to provide prevention programs and outpatient cardiac rehabilitation for those who have had heart problems or heart surgery, as well as to the whole community.

New Heart began as a small gathering of cardiac patients in the gymnasium at Jefferson Junior High School in Albuquerque, where the group would meet to walk for exercise. From there, the program grew steadily, and was housed in a variety of locations around Albuquerque over the next many years.

New Heart is now located in a beautiful new facility at 601 Lomas Blvd. in the Martineztown neighborhood of Albuquerque, just east of downtown. Blake Chanslor, the local business owner and philanthropist, has donated generously so that our new home could be built, and the New Heart community is extremely grateful to him for his kindness.

In its thirty-year history, New Heart has helped many people on the road back to health after heart attacks and/or life-altering cardiac procedures. We are proud and touched to have been a part of so many lives, and to have encountered so many strong hearts and spirits along the way.
