Pulmonary Rehabilitation
COVID-19 Update, December 16, 2020: The recent dramatic increase in COVID-19 cases in our community has prompted us to pause the Pulmonary Rehabilitation program at Mid Coast Hospital. Given the greater susceptibly of infection with recent pulmonary patients, as well as the increased risk of group exposure, pausing the program will ensure the highest level of safety for our patients and care team members. We will continue to evaluate the program and COVID-19 related activity in our community with the goal of restarting the program as soon as possible. Participants will be contacted when the program restarts. |
