have COPD or other lung issues. In this unit, they provide
monitored exercise and develop a safe and effect exercise plan that
helps improve overall health and quality of life. Patients will
learn how to manage stress, control blood pressure and diabetes,
and learn how to safely and efficiently exercise independently.
They also offer educational sessions on diet, stress management,
exercise, cholesterol, blood pressure, and much more. Each staff
