Did you know?
Behind heart disease and cancer, COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States. Poor lung health increases the risks of complications if exposed to COVID, according to the American Lung Association. Pulmonary rehabilitation helps reduce exacerbations and hospitalizations associated with poor lung health.
About the Program
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Memorial Hospital is a 12-week program. Patients are scheduled 2-3 times a week with a care plan specifically created to their needs.
Pulmonary Rehab treatment plans include:
