Pulmonary Rehabilitation

The mission of Pulmonary Rehab is to help patients with various pulmonary disorders improve their overall quality of life: to reach or maintain physical activity goals, to understand their disease process, and to address any psychological or emotional issues related to lung disease. Specifically, the program helps to decrease shortness of breath with activities of daily living by focusing on breathing techniques, stress reduction and proper use of medications. All aspects of Pulmonary Rehab are supervised by specially trained nurses and respiratory therapists.
