Better Breathers is a monthly drop-in support group

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) can contribute to anxiety, shortness of breath, excessive coughing and phlegm, limited activity and mobility, and more.

If you are struggling with COPD and how to manage such problems, these programs can help!

BETTER BREATHERS: Join this drop-in COPD support/social group, which runs the 3rd Thursday of every month from 1-2 pm. Open to the public!

CPAP CLINIC: CPAP (Continuous Positive Aairway Pressure) is a machine that uses mild air pressure to keep breathing airways open while you sleep. This CPAP Clinic can help you maximize the benefits of your machine. Drop by anytime on the 3rd Thursday of every month.
