Pulmonary Classes and Support Groups

If you have a chronic lung disease, you may need extra support to manage your condition and improve your quality of life. Sutter care centers in the Sutter network have support groups for people living with lung conditions such as COPD, asthma or pulmonary fibrosis. At Mills-Peninsula, we offer classes that can help you quit smoking or learn to better manage stress.
