Lung Transplantation Program
Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program
Pulmonary rehabilitation and education can greatly benefit those with lung disease such as asthma, emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Whether caused by smoking, occupational, environmental or genetic factors, these conditions leave people chronically short of breath and can be very debilitating. Routine activities, such as putting on a pair of socks, can leave a person fighting for air. Outpatient pulmonary rehabilitation can help you return to a more active lifestyle through exercise and education. Our goal is to help you achieve and maintain a maximum level of independent functioning. Benefits from regular exercise and educational programs include:
- reduced hospitalizations
- improved well being
- improved exercise tolerance
- reduced shortness of breath
The key to achieving these benefits is personal motivation to make a commitment to lifestyle changes!
