Pulmonology (Lung)

Chronic pulmonary disease can be a debilitating illness that causes shortness of breath and impacts the ability to perform everyday activities. It often leads to a sedentary lifestyle resulting in deterioration of the body’s muscle function.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation—The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Northwestern Lake Forest Hospital is an individualized program comprised of exercise, education and nutritional assessment for people with pulmonary diseases to help control their symptoms, regain their strength and muscle function, improve their ability to perform day-to-day activities and often improve their overall health and independence. Nurses, respiratory therapists, exercise physiologists and dietitians will take part in your care and instruction. Please call (847) 535-6570
