COPD Caregiver's Toolkit Now Available

 

If you’re caring for one of the 16 million Americans living with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, you probably have many questions. As a caregiver, you may juggle many roles. Being connected to the right resources can help. That’s why the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s Learn More Breathe Better® program and Respiratory Health Association created The COPD Caregivers Toolkit. This free toolkit will help you better understand the disease, prepare for doctor’s appointments, navigate home-life changes, help after a COPD flare-up, and stay mentally and physically healthy through it all. Find these resources at: nhlbi.nih.gov/COPD-caregivers.

Get out and get going this spring with Breathe New Hampshire’s Bag the Butts™ program as we recognize Earth Day on April 22.
