th ei fp .c a Th e IF P -H al to n H ill s | T hu rs da y, Ja nu ar y 25 ,2 01 8 | 2 The Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program provides a progressive exercise plan and educational components for patients diagnosed with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). It is offered at all three of our Halton Healthcare hospitals twice weekly for nine week sessions. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that includes Emphysema and Chronic Bronchitis. It develops over time and causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. COPD is caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. Lead by a COPD Educator and a Physiotherapist, the COPD program teaches patients how to manage their condition. They learn how to control their symptoms and increase their exercise endurance so they can achieve more active lifestyles and avoid unnecessary hospitalizations. This medically directed program also encourages patients to continue to exercise in their community or home, once they have completed the hospital sessions. A physician referral is required to access the program. Patients are assessed by a COPD Educator and a Physiotherapist prior to attending the program. haltonhealthcare.comYour Hospital GEORGETOWN HOSPITAL Rehabilitation and Geriatrics Outpatient Programs Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program Physiotherapy • Chiropractic • Massage Therapy • Acupuncture Work-Fit Total Therapy Centre has a wide variety of rehabilitation programs for patients with arthritis, sports or workplace injuries, and automobile accidents. 905-873-4598 (GH) 905-876-7022 (MDH) 906-845-2571 (OTMH) www.WorkfitPhysiotherapy.ca Halton Healthcare recently launched a MUSIC & MEMORYSM Program at Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital.
