Learning Event: Keeping Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Patients Healthy at Home: Session 2

A Learning Series for Caregivers: Session 2 of 2

Persons living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have unique care needs that require proper caregiver training and skill-building. Due to the complex nature of this level of care, COPD patients are often hospitalized or readmitted to the hospital at disproportionate rates. Comagine Health, in partnership with Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center, invites you to join us for an informative webinar outlining best practices for caring for people living with COPD. All direct care workers in assisted living facilities, adult family homes, respite care providers, community residential service providers and others who provide care to the elderly or persons with disabilities are encouraged to attend this two-part learning series. The first session reviewed COPD and building a strong care plan. The second session will focus on proper use of COPD equipment and tools.
