Our team can create a tailored program to help control your symptoms, increase your function, and enhance your overall quality of life. The pulmonary rehabilitation team includes physicians, nurses, exercise specialists and physiologists, a dietician/diabetic educator, a paramedic and respiratory therapists.

We have two types of pulmonary rehabilitation and fitness programs available:

  • Pulmonary Rehab: This is a physician-referred, medically supervised program for patients who have a lung-related diagnosis, such as emphysema, COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), asthma, pulmonary fibrosis, or bronchiectasis. Patients who qualify for this program are supervised by a physician as well as nurses, exercise specialists, dieticians and respiratory therapists. The goal is to work on risk modification through education and exercise to improve your lung health and capacity, as well as muscular strength, endurance and flexibility.

  • Pulmonary Maintenance: This is an ongoing exercise program for patients who have completed their pulmonary rehab program and wish to continue to work toward better lung health. This program is also ideal for patients who have a remote lung-related medical history in the past and are at low risk for problems when exercising.
