Learn To Manage Your Lung Disease at a Better Breathers Club
COPD is short for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Together, members like you learn skills to help manage your condition and improve your quality of life.
How Does It Work?
Better Breathers Clubs meet regularly for one to two hours to provide support, education and socialization to people with COPD or another chronic lung disease, their family members and/or caregivers.
You will learn to manage your condition, take part in discussions and practice new skills. You will learn about resources, research, and activities in your community that can help you manage your daily living. You will get out of the house and can become more active.
