Reduce Re-Hospitalizations For COPD Patients

The change in seasons and cold temperatures can cause COPD symptoms to worsen and potentially result in additional trips to the emergency department.

After discharge from the hospital, up to 20% of COPD patients are readmitted within 30 days.

We are uniquely trained in the management of COPD and can help you reduce re-hospitalizations. UpliftedCare provides support and improves the quality of life for your patients with COPD.

Timing Matters

More Time, More Memories: Our Care Helps Families Stay Together Longer.

Each year, over 100 of our patients benefit from early hospice care, extending their time with family and loved ones by six months or more.
