Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a lung disease in which one or both of your lungs are damaged. When you have COPD, the tubes that carry air in and out of your lungs are partly closed, making it hard to breathe.  COPD develops slowly. It may take years before you develop symptoms like shortness of breath or a nagging cough.  Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of COPD.  If you have COPD, AmeriHealth Mercy is here to help you feel better and help you slow down the damage to your lungs.

The Keys to Your Care program will help you learn about COPD and how to control your symptoms. Your case manager may also work with your PCP to develop a treatment plan to help you stop smoking.
