Dedicated doctors, patients, caregivers and probably most everyone in the lung world have worked years toward this first of its kind, a COPD historic conference.
The 4th leading cause of death in the U.S. and 5th leading cause of death in the world is beginning to emerge into the light of day and new knowledge will come to life.
In the meantime, COPDers, ask your doctor about getting into a pulmonary rehabilitation program.
The two I have been through are:
Capri Heart & Lung Institute
2601 Cherry Ave 111, Bremerton WA 98310
(360) 479-3886

Harrison Medical Center Rehabilitation
1780 Nw Myhre Rd G210, Silverdale WA 98383
(360) 337-8980
When I went through Capri’s program almost all their stationary bikes were the recumbent exercise bike…nowadays they have one recumbent stationary bike.
The rehab folks at both are good but the two water rehab technicians at Harrison Silverdale are extraordinary in their care, expertise and empathy for their patients and patient rehabilitation is a leading path back to life…in my opinion.
