What is Pulmonary Rehabilitation?

Pulmonary Rehabilitation at United General Hospital is a medically supervised program of progressive exercise and education for individuals with breathing problems and lung disorders.

Under the direction of a board certified pulmonologist, our team of specialized respiratory therapists assists patients in improving their breathing and to restore the ability to function independently.    

The goals of pulmonary rehab are to:

• Increase understanding about your condition and treatment
• Increase your ability to perform your job and your daily or recreational activities
• Provide you and your family with the support and motivation needed to make important lifestyle changes
