Pulmonary Rehabilitation
The Respiratory Care Team comprises seasoned respiratory therapists who provide all aspects of respiratory therapy to patients with chronic lung disease.
Our pulmonary rehabilitation program helps educate patients on measures to control shortness of breath, bronchial hygiene, diet and nutrition, energy conservation, stress management, breathing retraining, and self-care at home.
Monitored exercise plays a vital role in the rehabilitation program. Our staff works with patients during hour-long sessions three times a week using arm and leg strengthening exercises and endurance-building machines such as a treadmill, stationary bicycle, or rowing machine.
The Fulton County Better Breather's Club is open to the public, patients and their families, and anyone with lung disease. The club meets monthly and is hosted by a respiratory therapist.
