Asthma, COPD and Smoking Cessation Clinic
The Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Education Clinic and Smoking Cessation Clinic helps patients learn what they need to know about asthma and COPD, and the steps to successfully quitting smoking.
Learn how to:
- control your asthma
- manage your COPD (also known as emphysema)
- properly use an inhaler
- avoid or reduce exposure to common asthma or COPD "triggers"
- take steps to quit smoking
The clinic is open to all patients who have been diagnosed by their doctor with asthma or COPD, or been instructed to quit smoking.
Usually, a patient will visit the clinic four times per year, although sometimes more and sometimes less. This will depend on the needs of the patient.
