Phase II Pulmonary Rehab Program
Our 8-week program is for individuals with chronic lung disease, such as emphysema, COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), chronic bronchitis, asthma, cystic fibrosis, interstitial and occupational lung conditions and other lung injury. The pulmonary rehab program, which meets Tuesdays and Thursdays, consists of supervised exercise sessions and a comprehensive educational series.
 
Your rehab team includes board certified physicians, respiratory therapists, registered nurses, exercise physiologists, registered dietitians, and behavioral specialists. They will work with you to help decrease shortness of breath, help you become actively involved in your own health care, and improve your emotional well being. Through this program you will receive support to help stabilize your illness and improve your quality of life.

Once you complete the Phase II program, you may continue to exercise in our maintenance program so that you will maintain the positive gains you have made.
