People with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have certain signs and symptoms. But these signs and symptoms vary.

Not everyone with COPD will have the same symptoms. For instance, in some people COPD begins long before a persistent cough develops. In others, coughing may begin very early on in the disease progression.

The causes of COPD and various treatment options will be the focus of this important seminar. Whether you are a patient or a caregiver, this is an opportunity to learn how to talk with your physician to make informed decisions about living with COPD.

Together you and your doctor can select the treatment that is best for you or your loved one. Attend this free educational seminar titled “Breathing Easier with COPD” to learn about COPD and treatment options.

This is an event you don’t want to miss, so mark your calendar for 2 p.m. on March 19. For information or to sign up please stop by or call Teresa at 507-433-2370, ext. 6.

Don’t forget our coffee shop where every day you can have homemade soup for $1 and a sandwich for 50 cents. Tuesday we will be having chicken alfredo in the coffee shop starting at 11:30 a.m. for $2.
