Do you suffer from emphysema, COPD, asthma, chronic bronchitis or other lung conditions? Medstar St. Mary’s Hospital invites you to attend the Grace Anne Dorney Pulmonary and Cardiac Rehabilitation Center open house on Friday, March 15 from 4 to 6 p.m.  The open house marks the end of National Pulmonary Rehabilitation Week.

At the open house, you’ll enjoy a tour of the facility hosted by the center’s staff.  You will have the opportunity to learn about the programs offered at the center and ask questions of the clinical exercise physiologist, clinical exercise therapist, registered nurse and other staff.  Listen to success stories and learn how to enroll in the pulmonary or cardiac programs.

Located just inside the main entrance of MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, the center provides pulmonary and cardiac rehabilitation services designed to limit the effects of illness; prevent future recurrences or medical complications; and maximize a patient’s ability to participate in daily tasks.  Cardiac rehabilitation is typically for people who just had a heart attack or cardiac surgery within the last six months to a year.
