An estimated 24 million Americans have a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) such as emphysema, bronchitis or asthma. COPD can be an extremely frustrating illness, but with proper medication use, it can be sufficiently managed.

Recent studies have shown that roughly one-third of inhaler users are unaware that they are using them improperly. Swedish Covenant Hospital’s Heart and Lung Center is offering free 15 minute inhaler consultations to teach community members how to properly administer their medication.

Registration is required for this event. Consultations will be scheduled for 15 minute intervals. Please bring your inhaler to the appointment.
