Pulmonary Rehabilitation at PeaceHealth United General Medical Center

Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a medically supervised program of progressive exercise and education for individuals with breathing problems and lung disorders.

We are accredited by the American Association of Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Rehabilitation (AACVPR). This certification recognizes programs that adhere to the highest standards and guidelines developed and published by a group of professional societies in the field.

Our goal is to increase our patients' understanding about their conditions and treatments, improve their quality of life and offer the support and motivation needed to make important lifestyle changes.

Patients must have a signed referral from a physician and authorization from their insurance company to participate.
