Pulmonary
The goal of New England Sinai Hospital's Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is to help you decrease shortness of breath, increase your physical capacity and be able to function independently.
If everyday physical exercise and activities make it hard to breathe, our Outpatient Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program may be right for you. We help people with chronic respiratory system impairments return to physical activities of daily living and their daily routine.

Comprehensive Treatment Plan
We work with you to design a comprehensive pulmonary treatment and rehab program that meets your needs. Participants meet in a small group setting, which gives our licensed physical therapists and respiratory therapists the opportunity to work individually with you in designing pulmonary conditioning activities and physical exercises to increase your physical capabilities and help you become more functionally independent. Based on your needs, we offer:
- Medical management
- Physical conditioning
- Respiratory therapy, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and nutritional counseling
