In addition, the program takes a holistic approach to therapy treatment. "Our pulmonary program focuses on three core areas of development," says Michelle Woods, the program's Certified Respiratory Therapist: "exercise, education and support, this approach not only helps our patients learn to breathe – and function – at the highest level possible, but our patients also learn to manage their Pulmonary condition; empowering them stay healthy and active long after completing the program."
