Home The mission of the Massachusetts Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation MACVPR is to promote the practice of high standards of care in cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. History The Massachusetts Society for Cardiac Rehabilitation MSCR was formed in 1984 by a group of clinicians to provide a source of communication throughout the Commonwealth. By networking with other health care providers in the field of cardiac rehabilitation these individuals set out to prevent the demise of cardiac rehabilitation programs in Massachusetts due to the lack of third party payers. MSCR affiliated with the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation AACVPR in 1990.
