Purpose
To help patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and other respiratory disorders understand and cope with their condition and function more independently at home. The key component of pulmonary rehabilitation is exercise training.
Service
Pulmonary Rehabilitation uses a team approach, involving not only the patient, but also physicians, nurses, a respiratory therapist, an exercise specialist and dietitians. After evaluation a patient's overall physical and emotional condition, the care team works to develop an individualized treatment plan. While no two plans are exactly alike, most address the following key objectives: controlling breathing problems and other symptoms, self-management of daily activities of life, improving nutrition and exercise habits, stress management and relaxation techniques, reducing hospitalizations.
