Health Information

COPD was associated with 119,000 deaths in 2000. The most commonly known COPD diseases are chronic bronchitis, asthma, bronchiectasis, emphysema, and cystic fibrosis. Universal Health Care has a free program for our members who have been diagnosed with COPD. Members who are enrolled will receive periodic calls from our nursing staff to reinforce the proper treatment plan and educate our members on the early signs and symptoms of COPD. The nurses will discuss:

      

•  Signs and symptoms
•  Medications and medication adherence
•  Doctor appointments
•  Prevention of hospital admission
•  Proper use of inhalers
•  Adherence with Oxygen

If you are currently a Universal Health Care member who has COPD and would like to sign up for the COPD Disease Management Program, please fill out the information provided in the link below. A nurse will call you to enroll you into the program.
