Pulmonary rehabilitation improves outcomes for COPD and chronic lung disease patients—but most health systems lack the capacity to offer it. Aviary Health changes that.

Expanding Access to Pulmonary Rehab Can Improve Patient Outcomes
Pulmonary rehabilitation is one of the most effective interventions for COPD—yet fewer than 5% of eligible patients receive it. Virtual delivery changes that.
Reduce hospitalizations
Pulmonary Rehab reduces hospitalizations and post-acute care utilization, lowering preventable readmissions and SNF days.
Shorter inpatient length
Pulmonary Rehab shortens inpatient length of stay (4.8 vs. 9.6 days), improving throughput and capacity.
Improve patient outcomes
Pulmonary Rehab improves long-term patient outcomes, increasing quality-adjusted life expectancy by 0.53 years and contributing to measurable cost savings.

Thank you for answering my questions about DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension). You took the time to explain it and show me how I can eat better.
