The Staff at Pulmonary Rehab are the Best

When I was diagnosed with COPD I had no idea which way to turn next. Fortunately, I had been referred to Bronson Pulmonary Rehabilitation - Kalamazoo. I didn’t know if this was the right direction to take, but I did know that after coming off of two spine surgeries in a year that I had a lot of recovering to do.

The staff at pulmonary rehab was the best. I can’t effectively relate how encouraging they all were and how willing they were to work with my individual issues. They all became family very quickly and going to rehab became the highlight of my day. Not only did I learn how to handle my breathing issues but the educational classes taught me how to deal with daily life, travel and many other important things in my life.

I could tell with each passing session in rehab that I was improving. I was getting physically stronger, was able to do more daily things through controlling my breathing and generally living a better life than I imagined. I was going to be able to live. I participate in phase 3 of pulmonary rehab twice a week to exercise, but the best part is visiting my rehab family and meeting new patients who have chosen to move foreword, too.

Again, I can’t say enough good things about the Bronson Pulmonary Rehabilitation program. It’s the best thing that’s happened to me in a long time.
