Albert Lea Medical Center’s Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is celebrating Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week, March 13 through March 19. The theme of this year’s week is “Our Aim is to Inspire You.”

Pulmonary Rehabilitation is a multidisciplinary program for patients with chronic lung disease, like emphysema or chronic bronchitis, to help control symptoms and improve the ability to go about day-to-day activities. The program includes education to help patients manage their disease, support to help them cope, and exercise to improve their overall fitness.
