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 have support groups for people living with lung conditions such as COPD, asthma or pulmonary fibrosis. We also offer classes that can help you quit smoking or learn to better manage stress.
Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group
The Central Valley Pulmonary Fibrosis Support Group, organized by UC Davis Medical Center, holds its monthly gathering at the Sutter Cancer Center in Sacramento. If you are affected by pulmonary fibrosis or would like to learn more about the condition, you are welcome to attend. This group offers education and social support. Topics may include:
- Diagnosis and treatment
- Nutrition
- Experimental therapies
- Pulmonary maintenance exercise
- Mycobacterium avium (MAC) and bronchiectasis
- Asthma education
