The Importance of World COPD Day
“Thanks for making World COPD Day an important priority!”
Chris Garvey
“It has been a real pleasure to be involved in celebrating World COPD Day with patients and clinicians around the world!”
Dr Ann Hutchinson
Raising the awareness of being active and pulmonary rehabilitation is essential
“I will pass the baton on to all my fellow patients and urge them to get involved in advocacy and spreading awareness. Your voice is needed. Together we can do this!”
Phyliss DiLorenzo, patient advocate, living with COPD.
“In the spirit of World COPD Day, and for the days that follow, I humbly propose that the Pulmonary Rehab Program be expanded beyond its current 12-week cycle. A 24/7 service would provide individuals the flexibility to access this life-changing program when they need it most, ultimately empowering them to reclaim the precious gift of life through the ability to breathe more easily and comfortably. After all, breath is life.”
Rashid Mughal, patient advocate, living with COPD, graduate of the Pulmonary Rehab Program at Queensway Health Centre.
