High-Quality Care for Patients with Chronic Respiratory Disease

Staffed by respiratory therapists and critical care nurses, Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a program for patients with chronic lung diseases such as COPD, emphysema, asthma, cystic fibrosis, sarcoidosis, or for patients about to undergo or those who recently underwent lung surgery. You’ll exercise with other participants and staff and learn how to control the symptoms and complications of lung disease. For the most beneficial results, it is recommended that patients attend Pulmonary Rehab three times per week for approximately three months.
