›› Learning to Live with Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis
Living with chronic lung disease can be a daily struggle. The good news is that there are ways to manage the disease that can lead to a better quality of life. Join us for the Respiratory Rally and learn how.

The Respiratory Rally is a one-day conference for people, and the caregivers of those with lung disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, chronic bronchitis, asthma and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. The program is planned and implemented by a team of health professionals, including physicians, nurses, physical therapists and respiratory therapists.

The Respiratory Rally is designed to:

• Provide an exchange of information that will give those affected by lung disease the tools necessary for living daily with a chronic lung disease.
• Teach management techniques that will empower people with lung disease and their caregivers to live more productive and fulfilling lives.
• Encourage social interaction between people who share a common problem in an effort to decrease depression and feelings of isolation and provide a more optimistic view of life.
