Health Lung Program

Our Certified Respiratory Educators can meet with you to discuss Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or talk to you about quitting smoking. They teach you what your disease is, how it affects your lungs, what are inhaled medications and how to use them correctly. They will work with you to develop an Action Plan. for those wanting to quit smoking we offer individual counselling to help you quit in a friendly, supportive atmosphere. Educational topics include, but are not limited to: disease physiology, medication delivery, and principles of self-management. Follow up educational assessments and spirometry are offered, and encouraged. Spirometric assessment is provided to assist physicians and Nurse Practitioners in identifying respiratory illnesses.

The Healthy Lungs Program is also looking at initiating group sessions for smoking cessation counseling. Social Workers with experience in addiction and harm reduction can assist in the delivery of group programs for smoking cessations. Increased mental health resources would allow us to enhance our smoking cessation programs and foster interdisciplinary collaboration to better meet our patients’ needs.
