Better Breathers Support Group

A monthly support group for patients with lung disease, Better Breathers provides patients and their caregivers with information from medical professionals, as well as a forum for sharing experiences and offering encouragement.

Educational speakers discuss nutrition, medications, the latest in oxygen and other medical equipment for home care.

Patients also participate in "harmonica therapy," an entertaining and motivating form of lung rehabilitation. Breathing is a two-part process, involving two different sets of muscles for inhaling and exhaling. Harmonicas exercise both.
