Pulmonary Rehab & Oxygen

Pulmonary Rehabilitation & Home Oxygen

Clinician examining a patient's back

Pulmonary rehabilitation is a supervised program of exercise training, breathing techniques and education for people with chronic lung disease such as COPD, interstitial lung disease and pulmonary hypertension. It is proven to reduce shortness of breath, improve stamina and quality of life, and lower hospital readmissions. Programs usually meet 2 to 3 times a week for several weeks, and Medicare and many insurers cover it for qualifying patients.

Home oxygen helps when your blood oxygen level is too low at rest, with activity or during sleep.
