Pulmonary Rehabilitation

If you have been diagnosed with chronic lung disease


and have ongoing breathing and quality of life issues, you
may benefit from this program. The exercise will improve
your breathing and functional ability. The education will
improve your ability to care for yourself and the emotional
support will help you cope with your condition.
The pulmonary rehabilitation program is designed to
enhance quality of life to the highest possible level,
maintain or improve exercise tolerance, decrease
hospital days, increase each person’s independence and
increase understanding of the individual’s pulmonary
disfunction.
