The Home-Outreach Program was established to educate,
assist and advocate on behalf of low income, uninsured and underinsured
individuals who have COPD. During individual, in-home visits an
experienced respiratory therapist, will assist you in learning
more about how COPD affects your life, and how to maintain or improve
your quality of life while dealing with this progressive disease.
The therapist also works with the Medical Supplies Coordinator
and Better Breathing Club Coordinator to assure that each client
receives individual attention to their particular needs. This may
include ongoing support, equipment, prescription assistance, or
referrals to other agencies for services such as in-home meals,
or homemaking assistance.
To participate in the Home-Outreach Program, you
must be:
- Diagnosed with a chronic lung disease.
- Over 60 years of age.
- A resident of Franklin County.
- Living independently (without skilled nursing
care).
