at
Monmouth Medical Center
An affiliate of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program at Monmouth Medical Center
is designed for individuals living with pulmonary disease. Through
exercise and education, participants will become more active and
independent - and on their way to a better quality of life.
The Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program will provide individualized
education on topics including:
- Activities of daily living, such as shopping, traveling and
bathing
- Bronchial
hygiene
- Medications
- Nutrition
- Stress management, including coping and relaxation techniques
Additionally, participants will learn about the pulmonary disease
process, and the signs and symptoms of complications of the disease.
Our highly specialized staff works closely with participants in
developing exercise programs to meet their personal needs. Workouts
are conducted under the supervision of a registered nurse, respiratory
care practitioner and rehabilitation specialists. These professionals
will monitor each participant's heart rate, blood pressure and
oxygen saturation to measure the body's response to the exercise.
Our newly designed facility features state-of-the-art fitness equipment,
including tread mills, arm ergometers, rowing machines and stationary
bicycles.
Monmouth's Pulmonary Rehabilitation Program is open to individuals
who have either obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease. Those
who are eligible can speak to their doctor about a referral.
