Individualized Program
The skills and knowledge learned in the program will help you feel better and manage your shortness of breath. You will become stronger by increasing your level of fitness.

If you have one of the following diagnoses, you may be a candidate:
- Shortness of breath, fatigue, cough or wheezing
- COPD
- Acute or chronic lung disease
- Oxygen dependency
- Limited daily activities
- Bronchiectasis, pulmonary hypertension, interstitial lung disease, and other chronic pulmonary disorders
