VA TelePulmonology helps Veteran receive lung care from home
A Veteran received lung care from home through VA TelePulmonology. The Veteran, an Air Force Veteran, was hospitalized with coronary hypertension, a condition affecting the heart and lungs. After inpatient care, the VA care team planned for long-term recovery, aiming to minimize stress and fatigue from frequent rehab sessions.
The respiratory therapist suggested VA TelePulmonology, a specialized care available through VA Telehealth Services. The Veteran now meets with the therapist twice a week from home using VA's secure videoconferencing app. Further details about the Veteran's experience and VA TelePulmonology are available from the source.
