Due to an increased need in our community, Aultman Orrville Hospital is now offering a pulmonary rehabilitation program! This 12-week program runs twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays for one-hour sessions to help patients recover and restore physically and mentally using exercises that strengthen the entire person. The hours will be expanded as needed. You must have a doctor’s referral to qualify.

What to Expect

During a typical appointment, you will work through your exercises, have your vitals taken, have your current feelings and progress evaluated, and receive appropriate education based on your needs.

The exercises address the following body systems:

• Cardiopulmonary: Aerobic and breathing exercises to improve heart and lungs.
