  • Breathing Techniques: Training in methods like pursed-lip breathing and diaphragmatic breathing to ease shortness of breath.
  • Occupational Therapy: Strategies to handle daily tasks without overexertion.

COPD Care

For those who need more intensive care, an inpatient hospital stay may be the best option. This form of rehabilitation focuses on working with patients over a shorter period to maximize their recovery.

The goal is to help you return home being as independent and productive as possible.

Some patients may also benefit from outpatient care following a hospitalization. Outpatient rehabilitation allows patients to come to our hospital for a few hours of treatment during the day and return home each night. 
Comprehensive outpatient therapy is also available to patients who want to maintain or enhance their recovery after inpatient rehab.
