Patients receive an individualized exercise program that is based on the individual’s health status and on a physician’s evaluation. The program’s primary goals and benefits are to:
• Reduce shortness of breath and improve the ability to perform daily activities through breathing retraining and exercise
• Increase exercise capacity through conditioning
• Improve knowledge of lung disease through educational programs
• Provide emotional support from our pulmonary rehabilitation team and fellow participants
