About The Better Breathers Club

The Better Breathers Club is made possible by the American Lung Association and offers you the opportunity to learn ways to better cope with COPD, while getting the support of others who share in your struggles.  This gives you the tools you need to live the best quality of life that you can. 

The Heartland Better Breathers Club meets at Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center in Sebring, at 12 noon on the 4th Friday of each month (3rd Friday in November and December), and features educational presentations on a wide range of topics, including:

How COPD affects the lungs
Breathing Techniques
Exercise
Talking with your physician
Medications and other treatment options
Medical Tests
Supplemental oxygen
Home health care
Air pollution
and more...

If you feel alone and isolated, we can help. Carol Watson, RRT, from our Respiratory & Cardiopulmonary Department, is the BBC Coordinator. For more information, please call Mike Napper in the Florida Hospital Heartland Medical Center Cardiopulmonary Department at (863) 402-3450.
