Newman Regional Health has announced a new line of services for the area.
The hospital has opened an Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program, with exercise training, education and support designed to help patients improve their quality life through symptom management, improved exercise stamina and strength and ways to control shortness of breath. The program has patients meeting for 60 minutes twice a week, with a goal of anywhere from 12-36 sessions in the cardiac and pulmonary rehab area.
Case Manager Connie Coble says the program is “tailored to individuals with chronic lung diseases like COPD, asthma and pulmonary fibrosis as well as those with lingering post-COVID breathing difficulties.”
Residents can call Coble at 620-343-6800 ext. 21312 or Cardiopulmonary Services Director Donny Bellomy at 620-343-6800 ext. 21321 with questions. They can also go online to newmanrh.org/pulmonaryrehab.
