Our team will take a thorough history, review your symptoms, current treatments, and any other health issues, and identify your short- and long-term goals. From that information, we’ll create a plan tailored to your specific needs. Your therapy program may include an exercise regimen (comprising strength and aerobic training, breathing training, smoking cessation, nutrition support, and/or counseling). Oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and heart rate are monitored while you exercise.

Patients who have completed the program may continue to exercise in our informal Maintenance Program on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Candidates for the 8-week Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program include:

• People with breathing disorders
• Adults diagnosed with chronic lung diseases
• Those considering or who have undergone lung surgery, including lung transplantation

Patients who attend our program learn multiple ways to improve their breathing:

• Increased exercise tolerance
• Reduced anxiety and depression associated with pulmonary disease
• Education about lung disease, treatment options, and coping strategies
• Methods to control and alleviate breathing difficulties

To enroll in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, your physician must refer you. Please call your doctor and ask for a referral. For more information about the program, call 734-998-8723. Our hours of operation are 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday - Friday.
