Spring 2009 - Living Well with COPD
In early February 2009, COPD researchers and clinicians gathered in Vancouver to share their expert knowledge on COPD. The conference consisted of two full days of presentations and a public forum entitled Living Well with COPD
Public forum speakers included two world-renowned respiratory health experts Dr. Bart Celli and Dr. Dennis O’Donnell both of whom stayed to take questions from audience members. In addition, several COPD patients were invited to share their tips for living well with COPD.
For the benefit of all patients living with COPD, we provide video footage of the event here.
Public forum sponsors included the BC Lung Association, the James Hogg iCapture Centre for Cardiovascular and PulmonaryResearch, UBC, and the Providence Heart and Lung Institute.
