In addition to the cardiac rehab program at Rush, Lane directed the preventive Heartsavers program and the Diabetes and Exercise program.

Lane will also direct the Health & Fitness and Health Promotion students as they develop their clinical skills working at the Ismail Center and a multitude of community settings. A few programs Lane is planning to implement are low back, cardiovascular risk reduction, and breast cancer survivor.
