Center for Lung Health at the ECCC opens its doors

The Center for Lung Health at Cabell Huntington Hospital is the new home for the hospital's Pulmonary Rehabilitation program. The Pulmonary Rehabilitation program, which consists of individualized exercise programs, breathing training and smoking cessation counseling and education sessions, is the first step in opening The Center for Lung Health at Cabell Huntington Hospital. Participation in the Pulmonary Rehabilitation program requires a physician's referral. Program fees are covered by Medicare, Medicaid, and most insurance companies.

Located just beside the hospital's North Patient Tower at 1305 Elm St., The Center for Lung Health is a new one-stop facility for patients who are being treated for a wide range of lung diseases. Additional pulmonary programs will relocate to The Center for Lung Health in the coming weeks.
