Project STRENGTH | Support for Transitioning Rehabilitation and Exercise Now Going to Home
Thanks to funding from the Learn More Breathe BetterSM program of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, we created resources that provide information on how you can be healthy at home while living with COPD. Each of these packets includes parts of pulmonary rehab and how to improve daily life. You will find information to help build exercise routines, manage your breathing, put together a nutrition plan, and more.
These packets are not meant to take the place of pulmonary rehab led by a licensed respiratory therapist. They also do not take the place of medical advice. Please contact your doctor or healthcare team before performing any new activities in these packets.
Additionally, remember to share these packets with your caregiver so you can both play a role in choosing to be healthier at home!
If you are interested in receiving hard copies of these resources, you can sign up here, or contact Tcherna Halpern at thalpern@resphealth.org or at 312-628-0232.
