COPD, often due to emphysema, is a chronic progressive lung disease that cannot be cured. Symptoms typically worsen over time, with increasing shortness of breath and weakness. Supportive services including in-home, palliative or hospice care can provide expert symptom management and compassion for people living with chronic lung disease, as well as their family.

If you or a loved one have any of these COPD symptoms, let us help you:

• Shortness of breath or labored breathing at rest or with minimal exertion
• Elevated heart rate or irregular heart beat at rest
• Repeated lung infections
• Worsening leg swelling
• Progressive, unintentional weight loss
• Repeated hospitalizations, rehabilitation stays or ER visits
