Living Well With Lung Disease

​

LungNSPEI and iMaster Health have partnered to launch the Living Well with Lung Disease Pilot Program. This will provide Nova Scotians and Islanders living with lung disease with free 1-year subscription to the iMaster Health Virtual Pulmonary Rehabilitation Premium Platform.

​

The program will look to improve participants’ quality of life by providing access to an extensive suite of resources to improve individuals’ ability and confidence to self-manage their lung disease while increasing their physical mobility through bi-weekly virtual group exercise classes. Participants will also be able to interact with other program participants through virtual forums.
