Breathe Easy Program
The Breathe Easy Program is a pulmonary rehabilitation program that offers health education, supervised exercise and support to people diagnosed with chronic lung disease. A pulmonary function test is required and a thorough pre-program assessment is done with each participant prior to their enrollment into the program. The program is funded through Alberta Health Services and is available in many rural locations in central and northern Alberta. For additional information on the G. F.
