Several volunteers from the LA Opera host online sessions with our patients, where they complete mindfulness and breathing exercises and sing together.

什么是肺部康复?

Pulmonary rehabilitation helps improve the quality of life for individuals with lung disease through supervised exercise classes, 教育, 以及社会心理支持. At 皇冠hga025大学洛杉矶分校健康, we use research-based therapies to improve our patients' health and quality of life. Our pulmonary rehabilitation team teaches patients to exercise with less shortness of breath and guides them in managing their lung condition.  As the American Association of Cardiovascular and 肺康复 (AACVPR) states, “肺康复 allows you to make the most of the limited lung function you have.” 

肺康复的好处包括:

• 增加运动耐受性 
• Improve ability to handle activities of daily living
