Respiratory services offers an education and exercise program called Lung
Power for individuals with chronic obstructive disease and their families.
A respiratory therapist provides information and instructs on the skills to
better self-manage the illness.
The goal of Lung Power is to improve quality
of life by increasing knowledge of the disease, improving stamina and applying
coping skills and self-management techniques to better manage the disease. The
educational series consists of six weekly classes in conjunction with an individualized,
supervised exercise program to increase exercise tolerance. A physician referral
is required for program participation.
