Have you recently been diagnosed with asthma, COPD, or chronic cough or have already been living with it for some time?
Are you thinking about making changes to tobacco/vaping/cannabis use and just don’t know where to start?
The Calgary COPD and Asthma Program is an Alberta Health Services program. We are a team of certified respiratory educators and respirologists. We strive to be a leading centre in Canada working with patients and other health care professionals in treating asthma, COPD, tobacco reduction, and chronic cough.
Our Certified Respiratory Educators provide education for patients with asthma, COPD, chronic cough, and smokers at risk.
Referral Sources: The Calgary COPD & Asthma Program no longer does spirometry testing. We are still accepting referrals to provide respiratory education for patients who have asthma, COPD, or require smoking cessation information. These appointments will be conducted virtually or by phone. Please continue to fax us a referral along with a copy of the most current pulmonary function test, if available. Thank you for your continued support.
