Hendrick Pulmonary Rehabilitation

Pulmonary Rehabilitation is an evidence-based, multidisciplinary program for patients with chronic respiratory diseases who are symptomatic and have decreased quality of life. This program is one of only ten in the state of Texas that is nationally certified by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR).

Pulmonary Rehabilitation should be considered for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and other chronic respiratory diseases that have shortness of breath, decreased quality of life, impaired exercise tolerance, and decreased ability to perform activities of daily living.

The goal of Pulmonary Rehabilitation is to improve quality of life, reduce symptoms and teach patients how to manage their chronic respiratory disease. The program includes:

  • Educational sessions including topics such as nutrition, medication, and breathing techniques
  • Individually tailored exercise program
  • Exercise maintenance program
